My answer, using the example of Green Stamps that was quoted above, is that no they won't as a whole, though individual programs may end. If you'd like to discuss whether they will remain lucrative I'm all for that discussion too.

So, I like your question better, "will frequent flyer programs remain as lucrative as they are today". Or it could be asked, "will the frequent flyer programs continue to lose their value to a frequent flyer?
Not that long ago FFP’s , accumulating miles and earning status was my hobby. I was never as knowledgeable as many of you; for which I very much admire. But I did pretty good in working it all to my advantage. Personally, not that it matters much to anyone, but I’ve not flown since February. I don’t really desire to fly anytime in the future. Part the pandemic, part I don’t have to fly for work, part the programs have changed. I have now shifted to photography and carpentry. 🙂
So much has happened in the last year that these questions may not be as relevant. However, I am curious how the frequent flier community feels about the FFP’s now.
