and triply so for those who relish the EQMs, banked miles, upgrades, and other perks accrued with PAID travel, which is how TY Points tickets look to the airline. If you fly exactly 50,000 miles per year, you'll want your free flights to earn EQMs so you can maintain your status. TY Points help you do that, whereas *points, UA miles, NW miles etc do not.
