She didn't use those words but it was obvious what she was getting at. I can only imagine some of you bragging to some researcher about how you managed to sign up for seven credit cards, and fly the world in Emirates First Class.

I would plead with the community to please shut up, and not ruin the program anymore than it already has been. I would hope that people wouldn't be so stupid.

Thanks for your opinion and reprimand, but a Mileage Plan survey isn't needed to find out about certain "sweet spots" in the program. They merely need to read this board or any of the blogs.
