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

They have promotions to effectively buy miles for 1.3-1.5cpm all the time.

What's the market rate for Skypesos? As per the Wiki they are worth more than BA Avios. Is that true?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

:( wiki says 1.45-1.5
Wiki is both outdated and full of fake numbers by sellers who think that if they post inflated numbers they'll get better rates.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
