Rename it Skypoints

Change the name of the program from Skymiles to Skypoints which is what it really is.

All the BIS DYKWIA's can scream and complain all they want, but DL took AMEX's cash infusion and, like it or not, AMEX runs the show. Their MQM's will continue to count the same as BIS MQM's no matter how much you complain. If you put over $100K annually on your AMEX Cards, they'll take good care of you.

You'd be a lot better off figuring out how to use the system to your advantage.

And, while we're at it, I'd like to see ALL free upgrades go away. That'll open up lots of seats and we can go back to being non-revs and getting where ever we want whenever we want in comfort without hearing about our friend Sheena.
