You are assuming people tend to use their points the moment they have accumulated enough for a bonus ticket, which is in most cases far from the truth, so I'm afraid the above is just a further attempt by you guys to sugarcoat the "enhancements".

While I'm not saying there might not be other FF out there with a similar policy, I'm certainly not familiar with any.
It's one thing requiring account activity during a 3 years period to stop miles/points expiring but your policy is simply unfair.
