how do you transfer points from one account to another? i thought the only way to do that is if you live at the same address? do you change the address of the people you buy from then change it back?

Does anyone know the answer to moish's question?

I've done this before (changed the address online then transferred the points).

But it is risky and you might get caught if you abuse this.

I've done it (changed addresses to transfer points) numerous times with no problems.

There is no way to transfer Delta sky miles. But if you do tell them that the name was an error ect... please report back and let us know what happened

ok, so whoever didn't figure out Levi's plan I suppose its something to the tune of booking all available award rooms at the sheraton (and other hotels?) over succos and selling the reservations...watch out folks and make your pesach reservations now!
Levi, what do you do during the day, business? learning?

ASK - yes, but maybe try transfering 20,000 and then again 20,000
