"It took a decade for Michael Sommer to earn more than two million frequent-flier miles on United Airlines. It took a single dispute over a ticket refund for him to lose his elite status, dozens of flight coupons and every last mile he had collected.

How did Mr. Sommer, a technology consultant from Jacksonville, Fla., get all of his points confiscated? Like an increasing number of frequent fliers, a majority of them business travelers, his mileage account was subjected to a secret audit by his airline. He says he learned of the review only when he checked in for a recent flight to Buenos Aires.


"I was ambushed," he said. "I was about to board the flight when a United Airlines supervisor at the gate said, 'We have something for you.' He handed me a letter that said I had been stripped of my status and miles as the result of an audit."[Via nytimes.com]

The Pointswiz.com Spin: Very good service.

"How can you earn free travel if you're not a frequent flyer? Easy. Scads of companies offer airline miles, and some are creating their own generic mileage plans that can take you anywhere you want to go.

How do you like your miles? These days, you can earn them almost anywhere, and spend them on almost anything. The best development in recent months, though, is the surge in services that let you treat your branded miles like generic miles. With every passing day, evolving mileage programs treat the customer more like a king and less like a captive. No longer slaves to Byzantine rules, limits and reward thresholds, travel consumers can pick programs that uniquely suit their needs. Then they can go to town.

"Airlines know how many miles go unclaimed," says Dean Headley, a Wichita State University marketing professor who produces an annual airline quality rating. "To them, it's found money. By selling miles to partners, they recoup their upfront costs, and anything that isn't redeemed is money in the bank." A host of new businesses, however, are hoping to give travelers access to that money in their mileage bank. The willingness of program operators to open their vaults will say much about their dedication to consumer benefits.
