Came across a case today. Still ongoing, and it has been really ugly for the person involved. This is a local case. So for the fellow Indians who are trying to apply their jugaads, think again! Things are getting tighter with most loyalty programs. Thanks to such people. For context read below:

If you’re involved in any form of account/points trading or malpractice: STOP NOW ! What looks like a “hack” or loophole could lead to ruined experiences, serious financial loss, mental trauma, and legal trouble. And may be more...

Please don’t DM asking for details. Sharing this only in the interest of others. Repeating myself - "Refrain. It’s not worth it" !
