Welcome to Frequent Myler on the air with Greg and Nick. This week we're going to talk about American Airlines shutting down accounts. What's going on there?

And college student credit card churning.

Is it a good thing? Bad thing? What am I doing with my son's credit cards? And finally,

manufacturing Hyatt globalist status. Does it really make sense? Those are our topics for this week. But first,

as always, we're doing our reader feedback segment. Everybody's favorite segment of the podcast,

right, where we get the reader feedback and get the honest reaction, unprepared, honest,

unprepared reaction. So nothing canned here. This week, I am going to give

the piece of reader feedback to Greg, and he has no idea which piece of reader feedback I'm going

to give him. We're just going to get his honest off-the-cuff response. Yeah, this is exciting. Normally,

I'm the one to dig up the reader feedback, and we wait to see how Nick responds, but this time it's up to me. Let's see.

So live response from Greg. So this week, our reader feedback comes from a post about the shutdowns

that we're going to be talking about. There have been some shutdowns. Actually, over the past year,

there have been a number of different things that have happened, changes in the system that have

been, you know, mostly attempting to thwart the type of behavior that either banks or loyalty programs don't like.

And so Ryan comments on the AA shutdown post to say, sounds good to me. Get rid of the people

who abuse the system. These people are the ones who cause mileage devaluations.

What do you think, Greg?

Should we be getting rid of the people who gain the system and gain a lot of miles and

points and fly for free all the time?

I mean, people like you and me, right?

Do we cause the mileage evaluations?
