@OP I've sold them a couple times in the past when in a pinch, but ultimately you are violating the user agreements so if you get caught you'll lose all of your points. The guy I use is very discrete, but then again I don't do it often.

If you're still cautious, try transferring your points to a credit card or gift card that allows you to purchase what you need!

Respect the dedication. Go Cubs!

If you buy or sell points, don't be surprised when you get a call from the revenue protection department and your account is suspended.

See if they pop up on SPG moments :)

All my six-figure salary consultant friends are ranting about how poor they feel right now because their IRAs/portfolios are down.
