I guess I am not up on terms. I guess "family discount" doesn't mean me and my husband and kids?
Back on topic. As a 1k I did have FAs not take my drink coupons when I asked for wine. Twice I had the coupon in my hand ready to surrender it and was told, it wasn't necessary. I presume it had something to do with being a 1k or being very polite and smiling!
