I finally see the good in earning miles... I never use them due to the fact that my company pays for all business and personal travel. It will do the folks good to get out and see the world more now... they use to fly years ago to many destinations domestic and overseas, BUT never had FC service. They will from now on though!
Just feels good to share the miles and see them enjoy something better than your typical coach seat.
Probably the best use I've put my miles to. Fly Mom and Dad FC whereever they want to go. Even if it's Rulebuster (or whatever they call it today).
Other relatives usually only get coach though. But it's still fun being able to provide something very special to others (especially since we often take it for granite).
It sometimes makes me feel guilty that I enjoy earning the miles so much.
