Granted.

Just when someone doesn't know what it means, it's probably prudent to spell it out for him.

You can definitely get 1.1, possibly up to 1.2 depending on size.

Any market for Merrill + points? They should theoretically have and end user value of 2 cpp since they redeem at 25k for a $500 flight, but because they only get that value for tickets that are exactly $500 I haven't seen any brokers who are interested in them. I guess it's too much work for them to maximize value. Has anyone had success in finding a broker who would deal with them, or are people just converting to travel bank etc .?

Why not just make a refundable booking yourself and then get a check cut to you? You'll get the full 2cpp and no middle man
