Did you ever notice that in today's society the people who end up getting rewarded are the people who think that they are the exception to the rule, it doesn't apply to them? The folks who play by the rules get screwed everytime. I guess that is enough of a rant for now.
I agree it is BS. Why should you and your wife who are BOTH PAYING for EBCI, have to move back a few rows because someone else is saving a seat for someone too cheap to pay for EBCI?
