We knew you'd be back. We just hope you'll come back again in this thread in a couple days, to directly answer the main points which will be brought up by this extremely perceptive group of flyers.

Again, more information will be on the way around the entire program, but again, for the customer who tries to use their currency to get 4 or 5 cents worth per mile by flying Saver to Hawaii, BE Saver to Europe or SkyChoice to Vail, they’ll see this as another redemption option. depending on how a customer wants to use their miles
OK, confirmation- the company values miles at 1 cent per mile, and for the average customer that is also the valuation. However, FT'ers seek better. (4 or 5 cents per mile).
How about instead of a 3 tier award system, institute a 4 tier system. The fourth tier is open only to medallions who are active
FlyerTalkers, and the 4th tier Pay Per Miles redemption will be at 3 cents/mile. (a nice compromise, and note my post in the other thread, that's in line with your SkyTeam partner AZ's redemption at 2.7 cents/mile).
And one important question- Please answer this.
If we use Pay Per Miles, do we still earn MQM's?
