Don't think for a minute that Goldpoints is losing a dime on this. My guess is they're overcome with joy about Milespy.

The analysis in the Radisson forum showed that the break even point for Radisson is buying miles from the airlines at 0.80 cents per mile. And take into account the federal excise tax on airline miles, and the administrative overhead for Radisson, and the number goes much lower.
I guess either Radisson is overcome with joy or Radisson is overcome with tears.
