youre not getting 1.7 on 200k. Only on half

you could do that. But I don't think it's worth it to wait 6 weeks for that amount

For you, BH not.  For some people, $600 is a lot of money.

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 increased due to Aeroplan bonus. That ends tonight. Seems like the brokers here want you to sell it to them for cheap so they're making up stories.

To be clear for everyone who is messaging me, I do not have any points to sell. And I also understand that the prices are temporarily inflated due to the AC bonus. I was asking a question because someone told me that they had increased in general, but from what I had seen, the price remained pretty steady at 0.6/1.8.

for the 50% you can get 1.55-1.65  instead of 1.35-1.45

In theory you can get the higher amount for Amexwith the 50% grandfathered plat but in my experience it seems to be a lot easier to find those who want to do point transfers for ~1.4 than to get the higher amount from someone who wants yo do the travel redemption so the .2 or so difference in price may not be worth the hassle factor for everyone....

When selling Delta is there an issue of clean account, or one can sell multiple times from one account?
Could and should a new FF be opened when opening new cards?
