ps: I've never had reason to do this, but it seems odd that someone can claim this.
i dont know either-seeing as how you are paying them money anyway.
is it that you are finding a way to legally pay them LESS because of your creativity and they just dont like people who figure things out, or are there some real laws being broken?

We have to fly two airlines and cross the itins this coming winter. Will fly BOS to AMS on one, and before we use its return, we will be flying AMS to BOS and then back on another. So is that the same thing?

We also have to take busses and trains in there... do they care too (if they offer miles and are thus, partners?)
