If they're going to allow that kind of low-hanging fruit on the tree, frequent flyer programs might be a bit higher up.

Oh, no, whatever shall I do that frequent flyer programs, casinos and lotteries exist? Aside from not joining or playing them unless I choose to, that is?

Do you seriously think FFPs could exist if they were all one to one negotiations made with each individual member?
