Yes, exactly. So perhaps we agree the Freddies were about who had the happiest members rather than who had the most rewarding programs?

For a loyalty program to succeed, all they need is happy members. They need not offer the benefits a flyer would most enjoy from an objective benefit standpoint. However, the FF Inside Flyer reader who is trying to select the best program might be best served knowing who actually has the best benefits?
