I'm aware people do this, but the posts I've read suggest this isn't a feature of the program, but rather people manipulating programs. See, e.g., http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/aegea...her-ffp-2.html http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/bmi-d...arn-miles.html

Just because its possible doesnt mean it's ethical or correct.
