A frequent flyer club should be for people who frequently fly on that carrier. Not a very popular opinion on ft.
^I've always felt this way. The minimum flights on BA metal should be raised for the elite levels and then increase availability to elites . While yes BA sells hundreds of millions of Avios to credit card companies they are still able to be used by any BAEC member even if they are Blue. I know this is another unpopular opinion I agree but why should a person who flies for example 50 BA metal flights be fighting for the same award availability on BA as a US DM elite? I prefer the LH practice of not releasing their F awards to non M+M members until a couple of weeks in advance. Not that I agree with a lot that LH does.
