It is often more about the people you meet.
Have you ever been to
FT Dos? You get to meet other FTers over a nice meal, a few drinks or in some interesting places and you can discuss miles and points among other things. You obviously have to pay for your food/drinks and your travel but you don't have to pay a fee to attend.
