THAT IS NOT THE WAY A FREQUENT FLYER IS SUPPOSED TO WORK. It's not a Lucky Geography Flyer program but a Frequent Flyer program.

What is the point of any of us targeting business towards NWA/DL if they are going to disadvantage us like this?
it is unfortunately the way it works ... fare and miles promos are also sometimes based on where you NW mail goes. Some you win some you lose.
