I mean, why not? Sometimes it seems to me that airlines make their money not on flights but on branded Credit Cards.

- dwd 8mo agoFrequent flyer points are where they make their money. So much so that many airlines would run at a loss just flying passengers. All their partners hand over real cash for points to give their customers, that often either expire or are never redeemed. I think it was the Economist that stated that airlines operate as unregulated banks. Flying people around is a secondary thing they do.
