It seems many like me want more than a few subscriptions......why not give them to friends who do not frequent flyertalk or plan to subscribe? Colleagues, friends, family? I had done this once in the past and that person is now a regular inside flyer.

I say that it is best to give them to people who do NOT read inside flyer or flyertalk ... to avoid the whole cannibalization issue which the people giving them away in coupon connection may bring about well intentioned as they may be.

The other thing is that giving each magazine a unique home is important so that Randy will be able to boost his "requested and purchased copies" figure in his official circulation number to advertisers. That is as good as gold to be able to raise circulation.....and it helps all of us too by giving Randy & Co more leverage with airlines.
