Sure, you'll get 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9 but not .6!
I don't think that's considered a set rate halachically. Playing devils advocate, not endorsing the position

thats not bad. i know one of them paid .6 for SPG before the merger when it was possible to get closed to 3x that. I was shocked at the brazenness to even offer that low.
Are you shocked it wasnt for MT?
Or maybe he offered .6 for MT then took advantage when he thought he was referring to SPG.

Why? The guy offered .6, and got a yes. You don’t think someone would lowball to that extent?

Do people sell Delta? Or do they have a strong audit team? I may have use for some delta miles (small amount).

If you sell AA, what is the chance of account closure? And if you book for others periodically, is this also risky?

Thanks. So UR, MR, Delta,BA and United are not much risk? I accumulated millions of AA and I am mostly flying star alliance, I guess I'll need to start using my AA miles when there is availability.
