I'm A+ - gained from twice-weekly flights from one Intra-CA business hub to another (SNA-SJC and back). I'm flying with guys going to work just like me, and ditto on the way home- and nobody around me in 18 months has outwardly GAS.
I think the only people complaining about this have a point-hoarder mentality; at least for me, I'm making 'em (esp. with RR2) faster than I can spend 'em.

This decission about drink coupons wasn't enough to make me stop flying WN and I doubt it would be for 99.9% of the flyers (just like if Delta stopped giving me a HOOU coupon on non-upgraded flights-would be disappoitned but wouldnt make me stop flying them), it did cause me to lose a lot of respect for them and find they couldn't be trusted to keep their word.
