Exactly. I actually invoice my friends (via text, not on letterhead!) for joint cash expenses (dinner, groupons, vacations, etc.). As OP alluded, it can get pretty complicated if you paid with miles. Do you invoice at the revenue price, 2 cpm, the cost of acquisition?

@OP, you can't transfer UA miles (for free). Were you referring to UR points?
