Check SQM. They offer 50% reimbursement for a major airline.

Yeah, I did that shop for SQM once. It sucks that you have to pay them first upfront for the entire flight, and don't get to buy your flight yourself and then have to wait to get 1/2 the money back later. And you don't get to accrue any rewards points (can't enter your own rewards number for the flight).

.Are there any gift card reselling sites you had good experiences with? I am worried about getting burned....
Thanks

Huh? Why would anyone want to resell gift cards, and how can it burn you to just spend them?

Yes. I have those cards too, among others. I buy gift cards often enough (and get them from points traded with other CCs) but I generally just spend them or give them as "gifts" as they were intended, LOL.

Understood. My point was always about the resale. You reselll your gift cards?
We traded and resold holiday gift cards for years on a children's clothing board that I frequented.@sandyf wrote:
Why an honest person might sell a gift card...
Many people receive gift cards from specific places as gifts from friends or relatives.

Getting back to the original topic, SQM's air shop is, like every shop, not for everyone, but for those who only fly on that airline a few times a year it can be a great deal. Someone taking four $250 flights a year is not going to qualify for any big loyalty program perks or get a free flight that would offset the $500 savings that could be reached by doing the mystery shop. BTW, it's offline for the start of 2020 but the MSC says it is simply being "retooled." Hopefully it will return soon.

@KV I got an email from the scheduler 2 days ago saying they have a few airline shops left if you book/fly before 12/31. It's not on the job board. You need to email travel@sqm.ca if you're interested.
The reason for this is that you make the payment, then the scheduler books the flight using his points. After you submit your report, he is refunded half the flight cost.@JASFLALMT wrote:
