I had not been critical of BFT but I got banned for removing my posts after Sheryl had sent me a nastygram.
If you need advise for getting LA area Hyatts using Priceline you can send me an email.
While e-bay values the anything points at $0.01 each they are really worth about $0.02+ each if you transfer them to AA miles though points.com through the end of the month (3 more days). There is an aniversary deal where the points are doubled (plus a 25% bonus if you sign up for a plus membership). I've got about 45k AA miles in the last month this way. I think they even count toward MM status when transferred.
