I have a friend (no, really!) who is going through a divorce at the moment, where the husband accumulated a substantial amount of miles/points due to business travel while thye were married.

In the settlement, my friend wants to know if these should be treated as assets, to be divided more-or-less equally.

Does anyone have any opinion on this or know of where the case has come up before? I won't tell you right now which party my friend is (husband or wife) so I won't bias your response.

(Any advice given will be taken freely without liability, and a divorce lawyer will be retained (is already, actually) to give my friend the final recommendation.)

Thanks to all!
