The point you brought up just now has nothing to do with gaming, and if it does, it's not applicable solely to the frequent flier group punished
AND WHY ARE SEGMENTS SO DETRIMENTAL TO THE BOTTOM LINE WHEN MOST AEROPLAN USERS CAN GET NOTHJNG BUT RIDICULOUS SEGMENT RUNS TO GET FROM A TO B???
Moreover, if an airline wants to eliminate segment runners why not just remove multiple stops from the itineraries offered?
MLL memberships and credit cards(AC sponsored cards) only are good when you fly AC. Good question why AC does not stop segment runners. This would be easy to do by changing a segment to fare base from stops. This would leave AC with their true FF as top tier.
