its a good thing they exist! that way all the awards are here for us!

but yeah, I run into people who seemed to have stopped thinking about this stuff from the days when you could get a flight for 25,000 miles by just walking up to the gate and getting on a plane. But most of them never reached that amount and ended up with say, one or two flights worth about 7,000 miles total and then they gave up. It's usually the same set of people you have as neighbors who still have that ugly 70s brown panneling in their homes and have eightees hair doos.

Sure, the orange shag rug is kinda cool in a retro way, man, but no, TWA shuut down a long time ago so you cannot combine your old miles from that airline with this stupid certificate you got in the mail from Dis-in-nee world offering 4 free flights if you call in and give them your visa number!
