While I don't have any ethical problem with this effort, I definitely understand the point those of you who disagree with me are making and it's definitely a valid point of view.

However, after finding my way around FlyerTalk a bit, I find it surprising that so many people have "moral/ethical issues" about "working/taking advantage of" offers like this though staying within the official guidelines of the offer, yet there seems to be far less criticism ofCoupon Connection and things like "mutual gifting".

Once again, I personally have no problem with a <wink,wink> trade taking advantage of a large corporation's marketing program. However, if anyone has a moral problem with anything like Milespy, I'd think they'd be mortified by Coupon Connection.

Have I ever had a colleague use one of my soon-to-expire SWUs for an upcoming trip and have him give me one of his new ones in exchange? Maybe. Do I have a problem with that? Absolutely not - no harm, no foul, I say. Is that bartering and totally against program rules - ABSOLUTELY!
