In order to empty an FFP, you need to get to level first and then just use it so it is out of mind and out of site. An example is if they have upgrades, special awards for lesser thousands of miles needed, or promos like mag4miles, etc online. Find these and go nuts. If you are short a few thou to get to some flight somewhere, you need to still 'do business' with these guys until you get there and then you can be done! In the end, an account with like 50 miles left in it is just that. Feels good too! I have done it with several airlines I dont use or do not like for my own reasons and I now only have miles on a few that matter. Less headaches, less to worry about. So bring up or build up your account now, and be outta there later! On YOUR terms!

To do this, I try to employ the first two lines of the lyrics from this olde tune...

Artist: Busted Lyrics
Song: Build Me Up Buttercup Lyrics

Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart
"I'll be over at ten", you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then
I went to the door, I can't take any more
It's not you, you let me down again
(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo


Now, C'mon... I just know you now have that song in your head!
