So is it fraud? Whether directly or indirectly fraud is fraud.
I'm no lawyer, but frankly the OPs scheme is certain to be classified as fraud or a derivative thereof. (period)
oddly enough, that is not my quote.
It was as follows:

btw, it isn't fraud, because you aren't deceiving anybody (unless their is a rule that the refund must be made to the credit card used for the purchase. If there were such a rule, you may be defrauding the business, but you are certainly not defrauding either credit card company or the airline.... at least not directly. Credit card company a still gets the money for the purchase and for the miles that the airline bought, credit card b gets the credit refund. The only problem would be the fees, which would still be charged to the merchant by credit card company a. I also have a feeling that the credit card company might not accept a refund credit from a store that never made a charge to the card.)
Don't know how that happened.
