So are there others out there who like having miles in their accounts, but weary of flying sometimes to get, who would go in with me on the hot dog stand with UA frequent flyer miles given out with each hot dog purchased? We strike whatever deal it is that restaurants do with UA (>1 cent per mile <2 cents per mile) and we buy all the miles we want for ourselves? Don't worry about the actual details of operating the hot dog stand, or whatever business operation we set up to get the miles, because we are just talking conceptually at this point and would work out the details later. (Of course, those wouldn't be EQM miles, so status would still be a problem.)

[What was the pudding man's story? Maybe he had the great solution to more miles, less flying. Did he have to eat the pudding to get the miles?]
