Whichever marketing exec who thought of this ought to have their head split! I just can't get my head around it. So, rounding everything off, it will cost approximately+/- $800 to send someone else 75Kmiles, but I would retain 25K of that... and they, in turn, share back with me... so we are essentially 50K more than we had initially had for about $800 each.
A starts with 100K - 50K +25K = 75K
B starts with 100K + 75K = 175K
B 175K - 50K + 25K = 150K
A 75 K + 75K = 150 K
Is that right?
It looks like a very convoluted way to buy miles at a little less than half price.
And it was designed, I think, to minimize all of the A to B to C to D sharing...as well as costing more money. Why don't they just sell the miles at 1.6 cents each?
