if you bought 10k$ worth of goods with 36 points per mile, you sell the stuff for 9k, post fees etc you paid 1500$ for 360,000 points

Brilliant comments

The problem with this story is this guy earned zero (0) frequent flyer miles. Those require someone to get on a plane and leave the ground. I have well over a million frequent flyer miles and every one of them was earned on a plane. I also have AmEx points and I keep the two separate.

Also, anybody with brains would not get more than 2 new credit cards, as this drags the FICO score way down (40 to 50 points).

Has the plane been found yet, the one with all the Chinese on it?
