What??? You mean to cast doubt upon the credibility of the National Enquirer? So I suppose you don't believe there are alien beings in captivity at area 51 either. And what about Bill Clinton's 87 illegitimate children, and his half-sister Hillary? Denier!

People complain about ever-changing loyalty programs and how frequent fliers are offended by it. The reason these programs have become more restrictive is because of people like this guy.
