If you were spending $5000 on a ticket out of pocket, chances are - you do not give a rats ... about a 5% off coupon
I guess everyone in this forum is a bottom feeder, because they've at one point or another spent <$5000 on a ticket.
I think you should tell that to the man that drops $1200 from YSB to PIT - clearly a bottom feeder, should be spending $5000 to be worthy.
I guess you'd rather have 5% in AC compensation than $250 straight out.... Even a grade school student could do the math at which one is more valuable to 99.9% of the population.
And $5k for a single ticket, lol, only a dumbass would pay that from their own pocket, I flew 150k miles this year for less than that, made 1K by August, and 70% of my flights were up front.
Even buying miles, a business ticket anywhere in the world would not cost more than $3k, and you still get the services of the magical whimsical concierge.
