CVG_Kid's question was what gets you banned if you're trying to do [you->relative/friend->you] loop and the answer was that in this case IF Amazon asks you to substantiate why both parts of the transaction were in fact sales of goods/services (note Amazon doesn't ask that automatically) AND you fail/decline to provide this substantiation, ONLY THEN Amazon can state you broke T&C of the service and could ban you.
Cash advance came into discussion only in a sense that you cannot provide explanation "I lended some money to a relative and then got repaid" for a transaction marked "Sale of good and services" because in that case you clearly misrepresented transaction to Amazon and thus violated T&C.
Gotchaaa. Sending money back and forth on programs like this seems like an extremely dumb and poorly executed attempt to earn miles. C'mon people...gotta be smart.

Nice work
