How is dollar spend a good indicator of "Frequent Flyer"? Are people flying in Business or First more of "Frequent flyers" than those in economy, even for the same number of miles/segments?

United has also introduced a 4-flight requirement. In theory all OneWorld airlines are supposed to do it too, although in practice many don't.
