Recap: Profits From Store Cards, Elite Leave, Peeing In A Cup & More

 

  • Alaska Mileage Plan Introduces “Elite Leave” For New Parents by One Mile At A Time. I suspect that parental leave is good business and they also get some positive press out of it. Win/win.
  • Reader No Home Just Roam was targeted for 1,000 Amtrak points for enrolling in promotional e-mails. They were opted out of all e-mail types but opted in for the two snail mail options so might be worth changing your preferences to see if you get a similar offer.

How is that airline’s fault?
She should have been wearing diapers if she had an overactive bladder or should have emptied her bladder in preparation for the descent.
She should have thought of that especially if she is a nurse.

I think you’re missing the point.

The point being that everyone is looking for a buck by finding some PR angle for a reason to sue an airline now?

Yes, exactly the point. She’s just another sleazebag capitalizing on their own stupidity and spinning it to try and drum up $ympathy

I got the Amtrak one too (I’ve gotten it in the past, but never gone through with it). Any good uses for 1,000 Amtrak points?
