WN's program does have benefits.
Scenario: You have a small business. You pay all the expenses. If you take a business trip and eat grocery food or a steak dinner, your income is the same. Any award trips that you take saves you airfare and is profit.
Conclusion: WN is fine.
Scenario: You can bill your client for anything that is not excessive. Fly DL business class overseas or upgrade to first on domestic, no problem. Award travel is either for vacation or for upgrades.
Conclusion: WN is not very good unless they are the only non-stop and you want to get home fast.
