as for mile to cash systems, I am often so burnt out on the corruption that I see take place in these airline partnership schemes the marketers come up with, that I get a bit underworld on them. I mean, nowadays it's not customer loyalty, it's stolen or hijacked loyalty! It's guerilla marketing and near scamming that makes us "stay" with a company! We have no choice! They have our money or miles or info and so we have to use it or lose it!

As for airlines that have poor redemption rules, I give you British Airways and their household accounts, or Singapore Airlines where you actually have to pay to change the limited names your account can have to fax in a form to nominate who is authorized to use your miles!

It has already begun. My plan and the transfer deals of points.com didnt start the fire... But since they built and maintained their game so poorly, it will be the likes of them that helps bring the whole shootin' match down some day, I think!
