yeah but you cant beleive everything you heard on Seinfeld. Dont forget that other episode where Kramer convinced George to buy two tickets and get the miles, and then return them and keep the miles! Wish that were true, but it aint (well, if you buy from Home Depot using a miles-earning debit card PIN and then return items there, the policy the store has is to give you cash back so you DO keep the purchasing charged miles, but that's different)

Anyway, I agree with what you are saying --and was trying to be funny because we can only WISH half the world WAS like what we hear on Seinfeld.

I think that in case of emergencies, it's bad enough the airlines often ask to know the name of the funeral home (has US air do this) or have me fax in a death cert later on, but if they are willing to give a deal, that is at least good. There should be no fees though. NO! No fees on emergencies!
