Giving someone .6 or .8 is taking them to the cleaners. Like when they offer 1.25 for MR.  :)

I know a broker who would offer .6 for spg back when it was going for 2c.. he'd get bites so he kept offering it.

You need to find end users for a P2P transaction. You can't do it here because it is against the rules.

So why not post value you got from a last minute trip. Doesn't say cash or selling in the title.

Sometimes you gotta use seichel.
This thread is for people selling to brokers to make sure it's the market rate. Obviously selling to end user will be higher, especially AA where they aren't necessarily in on the audit risk.

For AA it was terrible, around .8

Had to Google that one.  :)
Either way I am done.

Not sure there's a market for it, however IHG sells points directly for .5 (plus the cc points I'll earn on that transaction)

So .35?
you mean IHG sells theyre own points for .5 ?
