Look , the reason I aksed was to survey the community. Not to tell people its my right.

To be honest, how much hassle is it? Making the reservations, then going to the front desk each day. Surely many of the frequent poster on FT have done much more (do MR's to far east from the US and back in weekend ring a bell? How about buying some pudding?) for rewards. I suppose much the antics that we FT'ers engage in is seen as the "have some dignity" kind (mistake fares etc.). In the end it all where we draw our own lines.
