I'll say this as politely as possible, but if one is a a selling noob that takes time to deal with and not used to industry norms, then they will and should get lower rates than TAs are paying. These people necessitate brokers, as TAs have no patience for them, for good reason.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Depends on the type but in general I think you're correct.

No but when he says the market is flooded that is incorrect. Go try and find me a few mm WF points.  :P

Does amount play a difference in MR w/ BP? Higher amount = higher rate?

Just curious, why is the market flooded? Isn't the only way to get lifemiles is to transfer from SPG?
