Question Shareholder perks?
I read something recently somewhere about airlines giving special perks to shareholders who take their flights, but there were no details. Does anyone have experience with this, or know a source that gives more information about it? Thanks.

BA has a shareholder discount (subject to T&Cs of course) if you have a minimum shareholding.

From my experience, nothing from CAL (CO), DAL (DL), UAUA (UA) or HOT Starwood-- all stocks I've held (or still hold) while being Elite on them.

Thanks for the replies. It sounds like it happens, but it's rare.

seriously, why would they care if you own a single stock?

starwood gives hotel owners owner rates and "VIP" status.
