The above linked article on arbitration is just an incoherent rant. It’s not particularly helpful nor even informative.
> “To begin, people in the points hobby are the most frugal people I have ever met. Take one point away, one benefit, or one lounge away from them, and they’ll cry, “Lawsuit!” If there’s any chance for points enthusiasts to recover anything, they’ll try.”
“frugal” that’s a polite way to put it.
I wouldn’t say frugal. Rather extremely aware of all the benefits provided by a particular product. Each benefit contributing to the overall perceived value of said product.
Agreed. Vacationing on points usually means that a lot of real dollars were spent accumulating enough points to travel. In many cases, if you really evaluate… you’ll find that money was spent that wouldn’t even have been spent, were it not for the accumulation of points.
Unless you’re just totally cheating the system; if you spent even a modicum of real dollars… the card product marketing was effective at inducing spending.
Being frugal is a personal thing, irrespective of the travel economy. I would call this group travel-savvy… and never cheap.
Some of us are suckers for the word free; but most of us know that there’s no such thing as truly free.
