This. People who can (OPM'ers), will delay buying to pad 'their' spend, if they can get away with it.

I dont understand this exxageration of the MR phenomenon. How many people do MRs at any given day on the grand scheme of things, 100 a day maybe? Its such an insignificant number of people.

Really, outside of FT, people think you are insane to fly for no reason, I mean, really?
