When was the last time you sold UR and the buyer asked if you had a CSR?

Doesn't make a difference on the seller rather if the buyer has the CSR?

That's what I was implying. The value of booking through the portal is very different than what the value is after transferring to any numerous partners...Not sure why the -1 is on my comment

Brokers aren't buying at 1.4 to use at 1.5, the value you can get out of travel partners is much more. While the CSR can be quite useful for the average guy, it isn't so useful for brokers.

Conjecture is a wonderful thing, but this isn't the thread for conjecture. As stated in the wiki, please keep reports to actual sales that took place within 60 days. This thread isn't about the value of points when using them, it's about the value being paid when selling.

is 1.6 still an accurate value for buying 100K+ spg points? family member is interested.

also, i'm assuming the SPG points can be transferred from seller to buyer's account if the buyer currently doesnt have an SPG account and can open a new one with the seller's address?
