Not necessarily as cash flow is one thing, miles flow is quite another -- esp. when companies like this can and do buy miles on the very cheap. With today's news that the airlines are looking at an additional $11 billion dollars in losses over what orginally was predicted, it is just a greater incentive for them to sell their miles on the cheap -- haven't you noticed in the past year how all the airlines are pushing you to purchase their miles?
In addition, we have not received a devaluation at least as of yet like you guys have. Query -- did you receive a double bonus M - W and/or any bonus promotions this year, like we have seen amongst the miles/points participants?
