SO Bond Boy is saying that I am a bad guy because I let you all know that I wouldn't mind getting a few hundred miles when I buy something and return it, and they offer me cash afterwards.

I would rather focus on this one:

Big Lar tells us that the debit card used rips off fees from the account held (sounds like that bank is pretty unethical too, eh?)

Yet, all the while, I am the one perceived as runing "it" for everyone because why, I LIKED to get those few miles? Is that the kind of thing as to why Big Lar has those fees? Oh pullllease!

...And then others tell me I am desperate because this is over a just few miles-as if it is also bad to even be talking about collecting less than some large sum approved by the elite. Hmmm, is it "cool" or ethical to bash someone for the AMOUNT of miles he or she does?

(Opinion Place.com is also only about 150-300 miles and many use it)

You have others who think I am of some lower form of life because I return things to stores and find out stuff like this, and this action in itself may wreck THAT too.

oooohhhh --careful guys! I may go ahead and tell the Wall Street Journal about this one! Yeah, that's it, I am gonna single-handedly bring down the entire country's ability to accept returns on merchandise! Ha ha ha.

My goodness! Is there no one in here who thinks this thread is nuts, or am I the only one?!

I returned the item, got cash and learned this can get me miles so I suggested it can be done. So shoot me for thinking thoughts that the obvious thought police are hateful of! WOW! I guess the thought police rule the friendly forum that is for... everyone? Hmmm...

As for things being legal by the law, but not necessarily considered "ethical," Let me ask you all this one:

Is declaring bankruptcy ETHICAL (by a single person or by a business)?

It certainly is legal, but do you think it is ethical?

While you are preparing to answer just that one thing for me, ask yourself this too:

Is it ethical or moral to attack someone for having ideas and an open mind that knows there is not just black and white?

But please, let me know what you think about that bankruptcy question... I wanna know. I want to know if this is about attacking people or ideas? I have more entertainment for us all once I hear back on that one.

Thanks.
