Does the government need to get involved in regulating airline loyalty programs? Link
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
I've been extremely happy with True Blue, the Jet Blue loyalty program. Earned several free flights and had no trouble going online and cashing in the miles. Very easy process.
Airlines are struggling so hard to keep slicing prices yet keep the same level of survice with all these low cost airlines, theyll try anything. People dont really care about anything but price anymore.
"Does the government need to get involved in regulating airline loyalty programs?"
No, and for several reasons. For them, it would be a gateway drug to other loyalty programs - hotels, restaurant chains, etc. Also, while I may have several issues with United's program, they do provide all the relevant information on their website about it, so I am as informed as I need to be. There are so many other things our government should be focusing on.
