The electronic system would be nice, but I hope that they do not change the program at all - it is the most lucrative one of any airline.
I actually enjoy the paperwork:
- Monday through Thursday make numerous one-way business class flights paying with AmEx
- Friday: copy and mail in my receipts (always by certified mail!)
- Next Friday: ticket voucher shows up in the mail
- repeat ad infinitum
My record is 3 free round-trips in 12 days (9 segments) of flying. Try THAT on one of the "Little 6"!
