Bleah. Grade inflation as far as the airline sector in the U.S. goes. All three in the AA/DL/UA triopoly are so much less generous on miles awarded for flying vs. a decade ago (unless you're last minute or international business) that many here have just thrown in the towel on the whole loyalty bit.
Hertz will be crowing a lot, though...

All the US frequent flyer programs are terrible and getting worse, I don’t know why you even guys are voting, we should be boycotting...I actually propose we start voting for FFP “razzies” every year, worst program and worst devaluation...
