Postal money orders can only be bought with debit cards and PIN and do not earn FF miles. While I teach ethics at two community colleges in the Los Angeles area, I refrain from giving ethical advice.

You've got to read "MarathonMan's" posts. The B of A / Alaska Airlines debit card allows PIN based transactions that earn 1 mile for every $2 of purchases, and he has been hitting it big buying postal money orders and then depositing them, this way. There was a thread that maybe Bank of America closed this loophole, but it hasn't been verified.
