Enough with the free Drink Tickets already
I know some of you like this perk, but I personally don't get on a plane and think "yup, time to drink up!". I've always thought this was an antiquated promotion, why don't they offer up some cigars with that bourbon as well?
At least offer options like free Wi-fi on one flight or something that's actually useful. Stop with the free drink coupons, give me whatever it costs you for the drinks even if it's 50 cents off a flight, I'll take it. Better than being tossed in the trash or sitting expired in a drawer.

I'd like them to consider adding other premium drinks again like sparkling drinks under the Minute Maid label (Coca Cola) or Bai (DPSU).
I know it didn't work the first time, but I think there have been significant beverage habit changes since then.

How about handing them to a flight attendant and offering to buy a drink for the next four servicemen in uniform? Better than throwing them out, less hassle than selling on eBay.

Seriously, this might be a winner in the 'what's the most useless thing you can find to complain about" category.
Whining about getting something as a Thank You? Bizaare LOL!

To each his own...
I actually really enjoy an occasional drink at the end of the day and a free beats one I have to pay for any day!
I like the promo and hope they never stop!

Gotta agree here. Is the beef with the 4 free after 10 paid or the BS drink chit that expires same day? I have an issue with the latter...
