No, they just want the connection that she is a parent and the impression that she is helping out the average mom. I think the same goes with Ben. Most new to the miles and points world see him as a motivated young guy who is doing things they could not imagine possible. I'm sure even he would enjoy the label as the Kardashian of the points game.
That sums it up nicely. And from that perspective ben's attitude makes as much sense as a kardashian making fun of someone because they got a job instead of just, you know, marrying an nba player or two.
And you can blame neither Ben nor the kardashian. It works for them. The rest of us are the suckers!
