Frequent flyer programs in North America will be terminated within the next two weeks

Business travelers all across America have reacted with shock and dismay to news that all airline frequent flyer programs in North America will be terminated within the next two weeks.


All North American airlines abruptly scuttled their programs in a frenzied one-hour period late yesterday afternoon after You Is Airways touched off the wave of cancellations at 4pm with a terse statement that its frequent flyer program would bite the dust on April 31, 2009. Within minutes, the other airlines announced they too were getting off the frequent flyer merry-go-a=round.

As a result of the demise of the programs, members of frequent flyer programs must book any outstanding award trips by midnight April 15, 2009. All award trips claimed must then be completed by April 31, 2009.

The airlines, expecting a last-minute rush of award requests, will keep their Web sites open around the clock. Most of the carriers are even installing additional award redemption kiosks at the airport and automated recordings on their pay phone service centers, in an attempt to offset the anticipated onslaught of phone calls.

Oh, OK then. You did it on April 1st in your time zone. You didn't do it on April 1st in the most important U.S. time zone
