The last time the FF industry make a major changes in their rules is the removal of mileage expiration. This has caused the airlines industry a lot of money, because before that, airlines just pocket all the miles that was not claimed within a certian time frame. I have lose nearly 20K miles before, and for that reason, I no longer collect mileage from FFP that still have a time limit rule (like SQ, TG, CX, NZ etc). I now move my business to program that doesn't expires (like KE, QF, UA, AA, etc). IMHO, in the end, it may cost the airlines more, but they also pick up more businesses, which very much compensate for their loss.
Anyone feel the same way?</font>
Definitely! However, being in Canada, I don't have much of a choice anymore for FFP's. Luckily, it's *A that doesn't expire.
