Ignoring the irrelevant comments above ... yes, I used points.com a couple of years ago to try to consolidate my points in two programs (to start I had dribs and drabs of points here and there). I did a couple of trades with others and a few exchanges in the program. All worked as advertised. Never redeemed in there. Overall not a bad service but now I don't need them any more..

"<i>Ignoring the irrelevant comments above ... </i>"

Notice how our qwo is always first to jump on a thread and post about all his flights/deals/experience . . . but has never once posted about actually <i>going</i> anywhere. I honestly think he is a 17 you boy posting from his grandmother's basement :)

deedeedee: My experience is similar to NoFlyZone's. Only used them once maybe 2 or 3 years ago and it worked fine.

qwovadis ... Are you telling me that you apply & get a credit card, then redeem the

bonus miles they give you for signing up ? You cancel the cards before the annual fee

is due. Does that mess up your credit score if you do that repeatedly ?

good luck.. qwovadis generally doesn't return to threads once he has posted. Maybe he will this time though
