Upgrading a friend using my points in return for cash
 
I´m just curious to see how you guys interpret the Skywards t&c´s on this one.
If I use my points to upgrade a friend on one of his bookings in return for cash. Say 1 cent pr mile just to pick a number.
Would you see that as illegal or within the terms?

In breach of the Skywards T&Cs

Yes, but hardly an issue if the friend doesn't volunteer the story to EK ;)

It would not be a violation if you voluntarily upgraded your friend out of the goodness of your heart and your friend gave you a cash gift at approximately the same time.

I like your thinking. :P
Now all I need to do is find someone with 300000 miles to spare. :) :)

Folks

This thread has been reviewed by the moderator team and it has been decided that it will be closed.

The OP has had a couple of answers to his question, however, we cannot be seen to encourage the breaking of EK Skywards membership rules, in particular 9.18 https://www.emirates.com/uk/english/...mme-rules.aspx

It would also be prudent to point out Flyertalk rules https://www.flyertalk.com/help/rules.php#commercial when it concerns any hint of trading within the forum.

Thank you for your understanding.
