The relentless CPM focus in the MR forums puts lie to your view. If there's to be no discussion of fares and routings with unusually low CPM, then it's time to close the MR deals forum entirely.

Personally, I resent the implication that purchasing and flying on a fare and routing freely offered with no fraudulent intent is anything other than a 'good and honest' way of earning miles.

I also don't accept claims of mistake where there's no evidence of mistake in the purchasing process (e.g. fare shows $XXXX price on one page but my card is charged only $YY). Fare sales happen all the time for many reasons.
