If you were referring to some other site, well, that's the point of just about any site - get you to part with your hard-earned dollars/pounds/euros/etc. which you might otherwise not do.
LOL!
Have you never heard of a mileage run? People on Flyertalk frequently make completely unnecessary trips just to maintain status.
