Travel Agent Booked Biz Class - turns out he used his points and took cash for himself

[Jack_OC]

It is possible to do a points plus pay booking on the JQ website. About half way through the booking process it asks you for a QF FF number. I almost got caught by this in a making a booking this week. It was only at the end where the slider came up that I realised what it was doing

I wasn't aware of that. In any case, I definitely did not use points towards my booking. Also, using points + pay doesn't stop you earning points/SCs, does it?

Regarding the OP I'm guessing they must have had their outcome by now? Perhaps a 'keep quiet'?

The OP hasn't been back on AFF since they posted to this thread over a month ago.

The marvelous world of online mileage brokers - The MileLion

A very interesting read with some funny stuff:-

But it doesn’t matter, Daniel goes ahead and does the transfer without even waiting for me to make payment! And he’s so sweet, he’s even gone and translated the screenshot so I know what’s going on. I think I might be in love.

Victor, sweetheart that he is, created a coupon code just for me! That’s keeper material there that is. Niole blushes and wonders if years from now she and Victor will be relating their story of love to friends and family- “I knew he loved me when he generated a personalized discount code to facilitate my grey market miles transaction”.

My favourite miles buying site? That’s got to be the very observant Miles Rabbi, who does not respond to email inquiries on the Sabbath.
