CARLOS: Watch out! This sounds like a "coupon broker" who buys and sells frequent flyer awards. While this is technically not ILLEGAL, it is against airline rules. If caught, they confiscate your ticket and make you pay full fare for your trip! Also, the person who sold the award gets tossed out of the program forever. In short, it's just not worth it. If you do intend to do business with this "discounter", you should somehow verify, FOR SURE, that you are not traveling on a brokered award.
