"Why, that sounds like a wonderful idea!! I would love to sign up!
Isn't that great, I'd get 25,000 valuable SM that could get me a free award ticket anywhere in the U.S.
Sounds like a deal to me.
Say, can you show me how that works?
What, you mean like this, we just log onto DL.COM
Select Book SkyMiles award ticket
and pick a place, any place, any time
Press [GO]
But... lookee here... that's not 25k, that's more than double...
But.. and lookee here, next day, different place...80k...
Hey, now let's try PHL to FCO...
WHAAATT!! 635,000 SM and it's not even all in J!!"
