You sure you cant receive the points for the first flight thats actually taken?  I thought I read here somewhere that its possible.
It's not about the quantity of your posts.  It's about the quality.

I thikn you do get the miles, but very likely to shut down your FFN.

I've done a couple of hidden city tickets with DL.  I got the miles and had no other problems.

As long as you don't do it too often you should be fine  (what's too often, nobody really knows)

Success, at best, means getting arrested. Wanna volunteer?
