well i have said it many times before and in many different ways...

I know this may not be how one is supposed to view FFps, but I have always had issues with the concept of someone giving you something to use later for free, because you spent money or time there, but that this all comes with conditions (such as the "oh by the way, use it or lose it!" philosophy that comes attached in fine print with your "free" points and miles). I dunno, to me, as a business model, it just seems so... cheap!

Nevertheless, we KNOW the game, now--or most in here do--and so we give in and chose to adhere to such rules and reasoning. It must think we like it that way!
