Meh. With a non-sig account, you only earn 0.5 miles per dollar, and you're capped at 24k/yr. For me, I buy MOs at .69 each, so for me to max out it's going to cost me $95+ (0.69*48) = 128.12. Works out to be .53 cpm. Which isn't terrible I suppose, but what a cut from the current earning potential.
