I have no intention of starting a fight or debating this with you, just curious on where you stand since your 2 posts noted above *seem* to be at opposite extremes of thought.
If I am missing the sarcasm in your posts, or missing the actual points you were making, then please advise.
Thanks very much.

No worries. IMO, this isn't a "scam" and there's no need to lie, cheat, or steal to have taken advantage of this loophole within a set of policies. A loophole that has since been closed, ime. They allow you to purchase via a certain method and return via another. In the other thread, the OP was considering outright lying to the airline AND violating their T&Cs.
If you'd like to continue this discussion, I suggest we take it off this thread so as to stay on topic. Feel free to PM me.
