Many here have used the letters PMU to mean Pretty Much Useless. With AA, which I'm familiar, you can gift them to someone else and you do not see many people talking about them going to waste. AA also allows them on all fare classed. Read how many people talk about throwing out PMU's from DL.
It's true, I do have several (ok a dozen or more) that I never used. But when I did use them, it was pretty cool, I have to say.
