Coming in mid thread is never a good idea, but I have passed on to Randy some details of a German guy who was selling tickets on e-bay, and was using points in some shape or form to do it. We didn't get further than an initial conversation but it was clear that he was going to "transfer" Starwood points to me, and I was going to have to open up an account to do it. What he didn't know was that I already had an account, and was pretty clued up on the promotion (thanks to this site - ) and therefore knew he was up to no good.
