that's a fair point, but what if my US trips are business trips and nothing to do with tourism?
Sure, it could be company policy to fly with whoever, but given in my specific case I hold high QF status, they'd have to think that no.. I am chosing that other carrier for my own reasons (both price and star status in my particular case).
My point is that while I can appreciate the odd "Have you seen how awesome South Africa is?" as a tempter to go visit as one thing, if they have all this data on me and want to use that to increase their revenue stream from me, it's possibly more likely to target what they know of my purcasee decisions than what may be apirational.. specially if over the past 25 odd years of my QFF membership my patterns are reasonably consistent and I've tended to not respond to offers to go to certain places (for example, RSA). I may in the future of course, but based on the dat apoints they would have on me, at least what I have provided above, wouldn't you as a business target me more appropriately?
