Just had a quick scan through the Amex MR and SPG T+Cs and don't see anything specifically prohibiting this.

Full Disclosure: I have never done anything like this, nor do I plan to. I have earned more than enough Avios legitimately so I have no desire to persue such activities as have been mentioned! (Please don't audit me, again!
