I have a question.
technically it belongs to "trick it", but it's something else. On eBay, there are various sellers, who are selling airline status products. Most of those are ...... offers, but there are some reasonable one.
"star alliance gold membership 1 month" for 32 USD.
"delta platinum status match challenge" for 170 USD.
These two seems to be quite amazing deal for those of us, who don't fly that much, and have no status yet. Can someone explain, how these are actually working? I think about something, like the seller is a manager for a big company's business travel account, and he can file the buyer's datas to the system, granting him status according to some special terms and cons. But if you know exactly how it works, don't hesitate to tell.
(no need for coding, this is a publicly available offer on various portals)
