Expecting double miles, then not getting them would be painful, especially if a very substantial payment was involved, since miles for 1.245 cpm are appealing, miles for 2.49 cpm aren't. (Actually a little less than 1.245 and 2.49 because there are miles for the "convenience fee" too, but that is pretty close.)
