Mean and Nasty or Sugar and Spice?
Since sometimes the best response is no response, I will leave another thread to wither and die regarding mileage "grubbing, groveling" wannabe's. I have found the people on this board to be the exact opposite and generous to a fault so I wonder where all those wannabe's are?
I know I have passed on free flights, upgrades, lounge passes, discount coupons, treated people to lunch/drinks etc., mostly with no quid pro quo. I have similarly been treated to upgrades, lounge passes, fantastic explorations, etc. with no quid pro quo.
I have heard numerous stories of FlyerTalkers and other frequent flyers lending a helping hand in all sorts of mundane as well as unusual situations with no compensation expected or received.
Hardly the stuff of mileage "grubbing, groveling" wannabe's.
Just to set my mind straight, I would like to hear about other's experiences with frequent flyers. Good, bad or indifferent?
