Agreed. Cash is KING.
The program is probably also fairly revenue / expense neutral when you factor in the time value of money with the time to both earn and use the mileage.
I also agree that unlimited is an unreasonable request.
I had proposed the 10, 20, 30 as a compromise in that it wouldn't require a lot of reprogramming to add more than the three buckets and it probably wouldn't discourage most of the people who presently buy in at the 5K level. Even if they only flew 10K and got 5K RDM, it would be at $0.02 per RDM which is still OK.
My ideal proposal would have be 5,000 mile increments to some maximum such as 75,000.
