Rinse and repeat.
Yes, this CAN work, BUT should MR get wind of it and choose to do so, your account could be closed and all points lost. This is definitely fraudulent activity and against the rules even if the system allows it to happen. So please don't do it more than once even that could be considered fraud, but might slip by. I'd hate to see MR feel they need to staff up a team to scour all accounts, especially those belonging to FT members, for similar activity.
