This has been talked about elsewhere but I don't think we are going to see a very large increase in Preferreds. The HSJ promo is just odd enough that few will actually get 4 (much less 8) during the course of regular travel. And the number of FTers going out of their way to do it is what... 50 people? 100 people? Even if it's 250, compared to the number of passengers US moves in a day, it's not that big of a deal.
