So now I feel much better saying MINE MINE ALL MINE HAHAHAHAHA!

I still dream about that hot fudge sundae at 29,000 feet, somewhere between DFW and YUL last year....
So, this person gave you a ticket for free that he/she actually had to earn miles for...and you are unwilling even to return the favor from your windfall? And cackle about this???
With friends like you, who really needs enemies?
I think you have a clear ethical obligation to return the favor given by your friend.
You don't, however, seem too interested in "ethics."
