The rule was made before that post but after that thread was started
But if not another reason might be that AA actively looks for people selling miles so maybe we don't want to walk along the fence
What does selling miles have to do with gift cards?

Is there something not legit with selling gift cards? 
Isn't that a very legitimate business done by many many companies online (CardPool, PlasticJungle etc..)?

$200 AA gc for having some seating and meal issues from TLV to ORD and back.

Now if I could only get rid of it and the $900 voucher they gave me as well.

What about the voucher's terms makes it so difficult to redeem for someone else?

I'd love to. Just got to find somebody who's looking for a discount.
Obviously, I wouldn't do that on DDF.

Easy, was a joke! :)

So, can you please elaborate as to the reason? The only thing my tiny brain can come up with, at the moment, would be that you have a contract with plasticjungle or something! ;D

C'mon, for real?
I don't understand how anything spoken so far in this thread would have any even slight suspicion of illegal activity...

As I asked before, what's illegal about selling/buying gift cards?

Seems like I'm missing something here...

If people are deliberately avoiding your question or responding indirectly, shouldn't you have gotten the hint that maybe it shouldn't even be discussed?!?!

Persistence may perhaps deliver. 
Do I have anything to lose?  Only to gain (who knows, maybe I can change peoples minds :P ).
I find this whole thing mind-boggling.

What do y'all think I can get? My seat cushion was loose on United and kept shifting the whole flight. FA wouldn't let me move to open seat which was premium economy.
how long does it take for united to answer?
