Quick somewhat unrelated question....

I've got status on a major airline and have for a couple years now - every time I requalify the airline sends me these little coupons to provide to the crew or any other airline employee that goes above and beyond. I always make an effort to be polite (I've noticed "Please" and "Thank You" go a *LONG* way - which is a little sad, but anyway) but I was curious the thoughts of any crew on these "coupons". Do these actually help in some way or are they just condescending? If it's something that will actually provide some help (real internal recognition, bonus, bragging rights, etc) I'll happily give them out when I get them, otherwise I'll stick to being polite...

If you're on AA, my understanding is that they do go toward some periodic drawings for prizes/perks, so they're worth something more than just a verbal "thank you."
