Default Re: Stars: Buy the FPP bonuses before it\'s too late?

right, i seem to recall someone saying something like getting some electronics item or something via concierge and then returning it to the store for the cash or something.
Or maybe you can do this with a WalMart giftcard perhaps. No idea. Seems an awful lot of work for a small increase in value on your FPP's but the potential for weird abuse like this is certainly there....especially since it seems Stars lowered the concierge min purchase from $3k to $500.
Then there's the whole issue of whether Stars wants to continue to review one receipt after another which probably isn't the greatest use of time. But I guess if it makes the customers happy and it works it will continue.
Anyway, I have to think the vast majority of purchases through concierge are legit and the customers love them but it would probably only take two or three abusers for them to raise their eyebrows and realize that maybe it's kind of a problem.
