Craigslist Scam – Vacation Rentals

[quote=bearishgurl] I can’t even count the number of times my kid who lives in SF has bought furn., airline tix, ski-lift tix, concert tix (bought & sold), [/quote]

Are airline tickets assignable? I’m curious how she managed that.

Yes, briansd1, SW Rapid Rewards are assignable (if the earner does the assigning) as well as credit card points towards airline tix (American and Delta). Again, the earner must do the booking and assigning.

In the old days before 9/11, in responding to ads in the reader or U/T or just someone I knew from work, I could easily buy RR vouchers from frequent travelers w/i CA (say once week to Sacramento [state gov. wkr]). Every 9th RT is free. In those days they were paper (issued in the mail) and I would just buy it in their name and fly in their name, even if they were a different sex than me – lol. I had two parties within blocks of me that would accumulate these vouchers and sell them to me – regularly. I saved a bundle by buying their unneeded vouchers (incl. drink tix for free ;=) The “rules” said no selling, but if asked, they would just say I was a friend or “relative” whom they “gave” it to. SWA just dismissed this practice with a wink and a nod ;=) as they didn’t lose anything from it.

[quote=briansd1][quote=SD Realtor]We had a sweet cl deal a few months back when we took the kids to disneyland. The poster buys those 6 day passes, he then advertises on cl for disney trips. We met the poster in front of disneyland, got the passes, gave him a check for a deposit, (because you need to give the passes back to him) and then had a great day at the park. They had the speed passes as well so it worked out for all of us.

Sounds like you guys were scamming Disneyland.[/quote]

nobody’s scamming anybody, briansd1. Only ONE party can use the benefit, whatever it is. When it’s used, it’s gone.

hummm… let me think here….

bearishgurl, this is not directed at you, but to the morality police here…

Breaking the “rules” is OK when beneficial….

But walking on a mortgage and living up to the letter of the contract is immoral.

I’m really confused.
