What would you value 125k skymiles at? Transferred from MR so really what would you value 125k MR at?
I am not buying or selling, I am trying to figure out for myself how much value it has.
DL-1.3
MR-1.5
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

It's green and I for one much prefer the ghost.

DL-1.3
MR-1.5

So I am losing value when I transfer from MR to DL. Plus I am paying a transfer tax.
Would it be smarter to transfer from elsewhere?

Because you are in your twenties and you don't even know what this image is.

First of all, how can you assume my age? Second of all, even if I was in my twenties, that wouldn't mean I had never heard of an Atari. I still prefer the ghost.

These values are sale values. The real values depend on how you use them. Technically, you are always losing value when transferring, as transferring a flexible currency rentals entails losing versatility. However, ultimately the purpose of the points is to transfer and book.

Only other transfer option to DL is from SPG (which are valued higher then MR), but there's no transfer fee and you get the bonus 5k per 20k transfer.

Total waste of SPG.

I will change the Adventure dragon but I am not going back to the black-eyed ghost right now.

Perhaps. But really depends on his specific situation (and point balances).

I would use SPG either for hotels or for for certain bookings that can't be done with transfers from other currencies. It all depends on your situation though, if this is something you need to book then the value becomes greater than some other theoretical flight or hotel.

I didn't say I wasn't in my twenties, I also didn't say I was. I don't need you to go back to the ghost but I think the dragon is just too "in-your-face" so to speak. Although it does guarantee that everyone knows when it's you posting

Is there any way to sort the member list by how many likes a user has or to see a list of the most liked members?

Click 'like stats' above.
That only shows the most liked user (Dan) I'm trying to see all the most liked users.

Traiters tend to post on other blogs but posting on other blogs doesn't make you a traitor.
