- tough 3y agoYes this is what I mean, they're there to keep you captive, and thinking you're saving. Let me put it this way, you might get a 25% cashback on a 1000 flight, but there might be a 500 flight alternative from another lowcost competing airline which you didn't even consider or knew it existed due to their points moat or whatever
