[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adult DS, adult DD, and mom plan a vacation together. DS is in charge of getting the plane tickets, DD and mom send him money for their tickets.

They find out later on that DS used credit card points to buy the tickets and kept the cash. DS claims he was going to use it for expenses on the trip. DD and mom are upset because it feels like DS made a profit off their vacation.

Who is the AH? Should DS send the money back?[/quote]

What DS did is extremely tacky. I would never do this, but I also likely wouldn't demand my money back either.

[b]I'd just think he was a tacky/cheap person, I guess. [/b][/quote]

Yeah, this. Like the kind of person who would go out to eat/ a movie ticket with someone and bring a "buy one, get one free" coupon, and then insist that his was free because he brought the coupon.

The not tacky way to do it would be to disclose in advance and explain to everyone how using points makes it cheaper for them, too (which I suspect it didn't, so extra tacky).[/quote]

It's not the same because the points have value. He could have used them for something else. It's all a wash, he didn't make money on it. He didn't explain it to mom and sister because they probably wouldn't have understood anyway.[/quote]

Given the number of people here who don't understand it, I don't blame him.[/quote]
