That is why I signed up for Skybonus in the first place (as a sole proprietor), to get some drink coupons.
Then they came out with EC and free booze internationally, so I didn't need so many. Next I flew AF -- Prem Voyager upgraded to Affaires with an SWU just as they had a big promo. Then there was last years paid (very discount) J when there was another promo.
Now I have so many SkyBonus points that even the Duke of Bombay would have a hard time using them all in a year (if I cashed them in for that).
I can't believe I am saying this, but I expected better from Delta's IT -- I get the HOOU's on my boarding pass even on paid F/BE. But since I've sat in the back domestically more this year than the past 3 years combined, the drink coupons have gotten good use.
