I received an email yesterday announcing this enhancement to points.com. From the limited information available it seems that users can post desired trades rather than convert at the points.com rate. Until I find the downside to this I am looking very favorably at it and may actually use points.com for more than the sign up bonus now. I started my mile collecting before alliances were in place so I have orphans everywhere that i can now shed for miles in my preferred programs hopefully. Does any one have more information on how this will work?
