No, you didn't get that wrong. *If you agreed to fly my aircraft to

No, that's not true.

You just can't count the time towards a higher rating.

So I can fly cargo or give rides to paying customers or do anything
that normally requires a commercial rating in someone elses aircraft
(not specifically stated as an exception) as long as I don't get paid
cash or use the time towards a higher rating? I think not. Show me
where the regulations allow a private pilot to do this. I can show you
the regulations that specify private pilot privileges and no where
does it state that a private pilot can do more as long as he doesn't
log it or use it for a higher rating in the future.
