I have no intention of choosing a "favorite" program in a year that has seen unprecedented erosion in ff benefits. Plateau bonuses, 2-person awards, free clubroom drinks, and short elite check-in lines are all a thing of the past, and I'm supposed to pick a favorite????

It really makes me MAD when United or Delta or any of 'em get to claim to be the "favorite" airline reward program when they're ALL cutting back on rewards (at a time of unprecedented profits for the airlines, I might add). It's a contest to see who's the least-worst!!!

So my vote is for "none of the above." And let me make this suggestions, Mileschick, how about a new Freddie Category: "Rewards program that most mistreated their loyal customers this year." Now there's a category that would generate some REAL competition.
