We do have a few Original Members who still post, and if they read this forum maybe they can chime in on what was in the newsletters.

Correct. For the first few years of FF programs, credit cards were not generally viewed as the major way to earn miles, BIS miles were the focus. At that time 500, 750 or 1000 mile minimums and triple miles promotions were common. So a 600-800 mile RT ticket could net 12,000 RDM which “beat” a 2,000 or 2,500 mile SUB.
(Sorry for the tangent, it’s easy to get carried away with this stuff.)
