This program wont really help me much either. Like Radiocycle, I'm on government contracts, typically fixed fee. We typically buy the fares within what our contract budget is, no higher. In all of last year, I think I bought 2 Y fares... plus this year, I'll get maybe 1-2 C/J tix coz of a new contract.
I'm the one who recommended my colleagues to fly NWA and buy another 7-10 biz class tix. I won't get any benefit from that even though I steered $80-100K towards NWA.
I will say this though... The NWA Team is NOT punishing us for buying lower fare tickets, as other airlines have. That to me says they feel they can run the WorlPerks program with ALL passangers, not just the select high fare pax... but will reward those high-fare pax in some way as they do appreciate the loyalty.
