I also never asked that you reconsider anything (and I certainly wouldn't make you any type of offer). I simply said that I don't hold any stock in the definition that you pulled up on dictionary.com and that I would reconsider if you could produce the definition from either the OED or Black's. You can spare yourself the trouble though, as the definition in Black's is the same as definition #1 on dictionary.com.

So, to review for those scoring at home, the OP asked "Is it illegal or against any policies?" You then brought up the legality issue by quoting FT's TOS. You said "It's also against FT policy. Posts that condone illegal activity (i.e., buying and selling of awards, direct fraud upon any program) will be removed without notice and accounts subject to deletion! We're not the law, but we know where they are." To which I replied "And selling miles is certainly not illegal."

So, I stand by my statement that selling miles is certainly not illegal. If the OP is considering selling miles to a broker, the worst that will happen to him is that the airline cancels his account. If the OP is considering selling the miles to a family member or a friend, then there is nothing to worry about.

I will leave it at that as it appears the person that I am debating with is "good people" from TX/OK. Were they from MA/CA I'd keep at this for days. And I believe that we are in agreement that selling miles is not illegal but is against airlines rules. Over and out.
