Frequent traveler programs mean too many things to too many different people.

While the Freddies certainly make little-to-no sense to me now, I'm fairly confident that, after any overhaul, they would make the same or less sense than they make to me now.

For me, the Freddies are just a reminder to take a personal look at my various programs. Honestly, I don't look heavily into Freddies results anymore; the way I hear of results is in a forum when someone spouts off about them. And I seem to tend to agree with the spout-off.
