Standards for "SMOKING HOT!" Deals

Potentially includes the amex offer. Also includes utilizing the GC or selling it at ~90%, which I don’t think is a stretch at all. Furthermore, I think you’ll end up with $700-750+ after eBay fees.

That’s potential. Maybe you’ll make less. But it’s a nice profit for very little effort, relatively speaking. But to each their own.

I think 90% is being overly optimistic. I’m not afraid to admit that I’m wrong, and if I am then so be it.

Booking travel on a credit card carries certain benefits. Up to 3x points, travel insurance and sometimes other airline-specific benefits. To forego those benefits and book on a gift card, at least for me, it would require a substantial discount.

I have also sold airline cards here on the forums and the best I’ve gotten was 80%. Granted, I never sold a gift card of $1000, so I may be wrong.

Biz Plat sells for 85% easy, w/o getting cc benefits.With a DL GC you still get CC benefits if u pay the remainder on ur card... plus DL has very low supply of high denom. making it worth more

I was saying my opinion, from a lot of experience buying and selling here.

Have you sold jumbo delta gcs? Bec i have sold $1K+ of bp MR. The current market for those points would indicate 90% value is a big stretch.

Please PM the broker you use. I haven't found anything above 1.3 recently, which is 85.5%, and thats only been for much larger denoms than $1K.

They are both methods of buying $ flights. I would imagine there is a big intersection bet the ppl buying bp and gc. Wouldnt expect valuation to be dramatically different.

Which is hotter? Sizzling or smoking? That is why you need to go to a flame or plane system.
