It is an insult.

POIDH is an acronym for "pictures or it didn't happen.". It is used when you don't believe somebody's story or claim so you demand pictures for proof.

Either way if you got 1.2 for 500K AA you are really lucky. AA is very Risky and a huge account is riskier. There are very few uses for 500K in one account. There is no way anyone will get close to 1.2 for AA so you posting that is not helpful at all and is quite misleading

Check out FT. 1.2 is the going rate for two individuals. Were did you get 500k from? It was 1.5mm+ (not one account).

That was the amount in the post you quoted (maybe for 70K or 110K its possible but not for 500K)

Why is 500k in AA so risky? Are you not allowed to make a booking for someone else with an Aa account?

No theyre not. I was told by 2 different brokers recently that theyre paying between .6-.8

Which is fairly silly. If you have an AA cc linked to the account you can get more than that with zero risk redeeming for hotels using the AAdvantage car rental and hotels mileage redemption option. They give better rates for those accounts.

Private sale to end user or to a broker?
If not to a broker doesn't belong in this thread.
And if a broker is paying more than 1c he's not a good broker

how much would 50k ihg points go for? how about 80k?
Not sure there's a market for it, however IHG sells points directly for .5 (plus the cc points I'll earn on that transaction)

So .35?

Who I deal with is not going to help you. You need to find those individuals. FT is a target rich environment. If you don't want to do the work then just settle for the .95
