Travel enough and you're bound to sign up for a loyalty program or two. It might be for an airline or a hotel chain, something that offers free upgrades or even free travel if you visit often enough.
Over the last several years quite a few airlines have been hit hard by the global recession. This has especially been the case in North America, where competition has become tougher than ever with the introduction of low-cost carriers like Spirit Airways. This has resulted in scaling back on the offerings of many frequent flyer programs, and begs the question: what is the most devalued program out there?
I can't say that I know the answer, but an article recently went up on boardingarea.com that does. The lucky winner?
Air Canada!
So perhaps all those flyers out there still clinging to their program might look elsewhere soon, because this program is starting to smell pretty bad.
Check it out!
