PremEx2000,
The problem is where exactly to draw the line. The examples you cite may be clear cut, but Flyertalk is full of posts about gray areas like how to participate in targeted promos or get something more out of the programs than was originally intended by the airlines and hotel chains. If you take your position to its logical conclusion, we might as well just shut FT Miles down right now and replace it with copies of the official terms and conditions from each program. </font>
Exactly. The question in the post that PremEx is referencing is a totally valid question. Counselor, the slippery slope argument works in both directions. FT Miles is designed to exploit (yes EXPLOIT) the awards programs out there. Is there a fine line we tread between what counts and what does not? Maybe. But I will take the HHonors points I earn for Priceline stays, and happily accept the promotions I use and are not 'directed' towards me. My 2cents.
