They are free(ish) but the FF community in general is built up around the best ways to earn & burn them to maximum effect. Whether that be Coffee, Life Insurance, Hotels, Flights, Newspapers, Credit Cards, Bank Accounts or anything else you may use in your day to day life.
With the right knowledge and a little time, it is possible to extract £000's in real value from them rather than just ignoring them or throwing them at the first thing that comes along.
