How is that fraud?
I don't think it is but if I was them I would say it is. They will claim this was a scheme to get a first class ticket without paying anything. Don't shoot the devils advocate.  :)

No. They're not going to have an unprofitable redemption level.

I've seen Gary write that when airlines have the 'last seat' availability for 2x the normal miles, those can easily be money losers if the flight is full.
You disagree?

There is no last seat award for partner reimbursement.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Yes, that's why airlines have been raising anytime pricing and why united will as well this year.

But my 1cpm statement was only for actual money paid to partners.

Is anyone still able to sign up for multiple Alaska cards in one day, or has BOA officially stopped that?

recently tried the 2bm method for 2 personal alaska bofa cards and was approved for one.  Just got a letter in the mail saying they believe the second app was a duplicate request and aren't processing it unless I call to let them know I meant to submit 2 different applications.  Debating whether I should go ahead and call and explain I want one card for personal use and one card for work travel or something like that.  Any thoughts?

Get that there's a different thread, but was responding to this post... and then, once I responded, might as well ask for thoughts... hopefully, you're only slightly offended, and not deeply offended, at such anarchic posting methods.

I'll probably call BofA tomorrow to see if they'll process the second app.

They feel they can do anything because the supreme court pretty much made them feel that way.
Can someone elaborate? What did the Supreme Court rule?

In Northwest v. Ginsberg, the Court held that the Airline Deregulation Act preempted state-law covenants of good faith and fair dealing in the context of frequent flyer programs, at least to the extent that they concern miles earned from actual flying.

ohoh. does this not mean that the airlines have full control of their miles? i.e. that selling them would be illegal (and they could win in court)? which would thus make it asur to sell? (i was told, though i don't hold by it, that the current mutar method of selling miles was that the airlines wouldn't win in court; i.e. that they don't have control).
