This website appeared as an advert in my social media feed

I Only Fly First Class

i was intrigued and had a look. The Trustpilot reviews seem universally - but improbably - positive. The fares look competitive

i vaguely recall reading something about this some time ago (pre-COVID) but can’t find anything now with an internet search

Has anyone had any experience with this?

Actually, disregard - a different search engine gave better results

To be avoided

SYD-MAA return F was for US$3810 ?!?!? sounds dodgy?

I suspect this is a 'points broker' who buys points off punters, uses the points for award seats and sells them cheap.

If you as the buyer get away with it, great, but if you don't, you'll be up the creek without a paddle...

That was the unanimous view of the people on Trip Adviser. Most people tended not to ‘filter’ their opinions in fact ……

Interestingly, Trustpilot was overwhelmingly positive

I suspect that the Trustpilot reviews are positive because people got away with it the one time.

Anyway, AFF has a handy article: Why You Shouldn't Book Flights with Mileage Brokers

Thanks for that.

This was the first place I did a search but I was using IOFFC as the key words in various combinations
