Pardon the attack on this Elliot guy's intelligence, but he is an idiot. If you don't want to get caught up in the hubbub over frequent flyer miles, then just disengage yourself from the mileage madness. Don't read the e-mails don't open the promotional mailings, and look at your statements once or twice a year. But don't cancel your memberships. What the heck good do you get out of that? Just take what they give ya, for crying out loud. Of course, if this guy wants to shoot himself in the foot, you won't see me tryin to stop him!
