What's the point of Frequent Flyer Programmes?
Have I been missing something?
I have a BA Gold and a Star Alliance Gold and a number of other FF cards but I have never really seen any discernable benefit.
You get the same treatment as anyone else - happy with that.
You get access to a lounge if you want it - I don't (full of people who think this sort of thing makes them more important - no thanks).
When I've got x zillion miles for going to work on a plane - what do they tell you you're entitled to? ANOTHER flight!! - that's about the last thing I want.
Really can't see the point unless it really is just a big scam for airlines to charge more for an illusory 'benefit' and at the same time cleverly get a top notch marketing database to bombard people with junk mail and spam.
