How many business travelers really need to book through a company program? I guess I never thought about it, everyplace I have ever worked, I've booked my own travel. I would thnk the vast majority of loyal business travelers will nt be affected by this-though, like using a CLC card for hotels and losing those points, I can see how this is a bad deal for some.

I am coming over from DL for my Western travel, and staying with DL for the markets F9 doesn't go that I do (Idaho and Alabama mostly). With only 30,000 miles needed for Summit, I expect to be able to keep Gold on DL AND Summit on Frontier, looks to me like hey have a pretty good program. I'm excited to try it out!
