Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Greetings from Big in Japan!

In light of rising fuel costs and economic shortcomings, what are the chances that airlines will soon re-adjust their frequent flier miles programs? I mean, considering you get one mile for every dollar you spend on several major credit cards, shouldn't inflation figure into the equation at some point??

Just wondering as you seem to be the world's leading expert on this sort of thing!

High. Your answer is too long to put in a brief post, so I'll write up an article about it.

In a nutshell, they may not be able to take away your miles, proper, but they can make them worth a lot, lot less. That's what most people are worried about right now.

kanpai!
