The truth is, however, even when that is applicable, sometimes, the rules are just the rules.
OP, the answer simply is that selling points and miles, outside of an approved channel, is not allowed by the T&Cs of all FF programs.
I certainly hope you didn't build up a big stash with the sole purpose of then reselling them. If so, there's another old FT creed, "Do your research before you jump into any program!"

Yes and no - not 100% that you will be caught, but better than 50/50. Places like Ebay and Craig's list are patrolled.

For a new (and now suspended) member, posting the same question 6 times in 4 different threads is really too OCDed, even on a forum like FT.
Calling different CSRs, OTOH, is another story. Sometimes one might get lucky to get a "understanding" CSR who takes pity on the caller.
