1.4
Im assuming that if someone asks what the going rate for CSR points is, he means selling for travel. No one is paying 1.4 for that

I'm the one who asked. I want to know how much I could sell the points for - Instead of using them myself.
(I guess this is the wrong thread to ask how I'll get the most bang for my buck on my points....)

Many people ask assuming if it's from CSR it's worth more, but I reality the UR rate us what they want.

TBH, yes, but agreed it is not the going rate, but 1.425 shouldn't be too hard.

"Clean" UR means able to add a name to account and transfer points to that person's airline mileage account.

How to get that is usually never transferred to a third party before.

I did not get quotes anywhere near that in the past month. A mid sized amount of miles (500k-1m) got quotes ranging from 1.3 to 1.35.

100k will get you much better rates.
