Ok this has to be one of the stupidest promotions I've seen yet by an airline...and certainly eclipses American’s lets give you a massage at C10 promo last Thanksgiving.
Teaming up with Four Points is a bad idea to begin with, they are the most unfriendly business class hotel chain around. Their standards are totally inconsistent and most of their hotels are pure dumps. I think I’d rather have some Sara Lee.
