That's odd, I though the Plats got 6, so I would assume the Golds & Silvers to get 4. Does anyone use them, or do you do like the J.Edward and collect them?

can you redeem the CO currency for valium, soma, or any other muscle relaxant to relieve the pain associated with sitting in coach?
i should walk around the boarding area and start selling those certificates for $3 a pop. i certainly have enough by now to make it worth my while.

maybe instead of 1000 nonepass miles for plats who get stuck in Y, they'll give you a free CO currency so you can at least get a buzz.

They stopped the nice metal tags a couple years back. IMHO, we should get something...we spend so much time and money on their airline, the least they could do is print out an extra card with our name on it and punch a hole in it for us to use (NWA does something similar, not much, but a nice touch).
Or if we all banded together and requested duplicate cards, do you think they'd get the hint??
