As I sit here reading Randy's AirMail article
on the "Universal Alliance mileage card," no
now picking up all my frequent flyer/hotel
cards that my cat Eddie Knocked with wallet
all over the floor I got to thinking a crazy idea (but maybe doable someday...)

What about a Universal Frequent Flyer Card.

The card would:

*Be linked to all Frequent Flyer and Hotel programs you designate.

*Points would automatically (hopefully) credited to the airline when you check in,
the hotel when you check in and whatever other programs you use them for.

Rather than a membership number cardholders would use a "codename." (Like in my
case: CATMAN) which would save remembering
dozens of numbers and one password to all
accounts.

*Several programs could be on the card or
ALL programs.

*Flyers can pick individual statements and/or
one complete monthly and updated statement.

THis would also save carrying a lot of cards
around and remembering a lot of letters and
numbers.

Of course this maybe far fetched, costing
hundreds of millions of dollars in new technology and computers and training.

But it could be the future. Any views?
