25 Years of Frequent Flying
Via Musings of a Global Traveller, here's an interesting if overly-long article on the 25th anniversary of the frequent flyer program. Things have changed a bit over the last quarter-century:
The group went on to define the rules and the rewards, the lowest award being a free upgrade from any fare. Its "cost" was pegged at 11,000 miles, because American's longest city pair at that time was Boston to Los Angeles, and they didn't want travelers to be able to get a free upgrade after only two transcontinental roundtrips (10,444 miles). They also offered discounts from any fare at levels of 25,000, 30,000, and 40,000.
To be honest, I don't pay much attention to my frequent flyer accounts. I suppose I ought to, but I guess I've got the impression that the rewards are pretty minimal.
