i'd say the same. why pay if you can get info for free on FT
the examples he is giving:
With this in mind, American Airlines offers a fast-track program allowing you to reach the elite-level of its frequent-flyer AAdvantage program. Request the promotion and earn 5,000 points in 90 days (beginning on the 1st or 16th of any month) and you'll be accelerated to ‘Gold’ status - equal to the annual requirement of 25,000 miles. Or, earn 10,000 points to be accelerated to ‘Platinum’ status - equal to the annual requirement of 50,000 miles. Once you have logged the points, you will be granted immediate status for the level accomplished - valid through February of the following year.
that's not really new for FTers
