Gold Dollar/Frequent Flier points "scam", does this still work?

I don't think you understand how it works, or your question is worded wrong lol. you don't redeem money from the government with your miles. You get free miles via buying coins which earns you points then using those coins to pay back the balance.

Well I know how all of BG can get free tickets for BGGT now

Yea I misunderstood, so you're essentially buying money with credit and getting miles for it.
