well, difficult to argue with that logic..i.e. "I want the info, but if I have to pay for it, I don't want it " ?</font>
Exactly! I'm not wealthy... but like most people, there's a thousand things on my wish list, but I have money for only so many things. I prioritize how my money is spent. #1 rent, #2 food, #3 car, #4 tickets to Germany to see my boyfriend, and somewhere after that is mileage accumulation costs.

I do not understand what you mean by "subsidizing someone's miles". How are you subsidizing anything ?</font>
A person spends $X for subscriptions to accumulate XX miles. I give $Y for a subscription. Person then actually spends $X-$Y=$Lower to get same XX miles. "Subsidize" means to contribute as to help with total cost right? I hope that X's and Y's made sense. I'm a math geek.

I think this is a way that IF could actually sell MORE subscriptions. Well, maybe the owner has a kind heart and cares more about spreading the information the "right" way...
My point exactly, he spreads a ton of information for FREE via flyertalk.com. The least one can do is support him via an annual subscription to IF. </font>
I put "right" in quotes because we are in conflict of what the meaning is. Everyone is spreading tons of free information on flyertalk. Should we give them subscription fees to? I'm sure there are many people who give as much or more of their time and information than the owner. By the way, what is the owner's UserName?
What about the individuals who bought hundreds of subscriptions? They're SUPER supporting the owner, enough to cover others. How does that saying go? "I've got enough <fill in> to cover the both of us." Subscribers can use that phrase too.
Ok, so my biggest reason for asking for a subscription would be my priority explanation. There, I even prioritize my reasons. #1 money prioritization, #2 subsidization help, #3 everything else.
