Yeah, I generally look at it as legitimate compensation rather than a kickback. Like: &quot;As the sales manager for across the country you have to spend half the year away from your family, and we&#x27;re not going to pay you any more than the guy that sits next to you, manages sales on this side of the country, and travels a lot less. But at least when it comes time for you to go on vacation, you&#x27;ll get to fly for free.&quot;<p>Also, anecdote: I have a friend who works for an organization that employs many frequent flyers, and they have an organization policy of all flying the same airline for all flights because the benefits in terms of better rebooking in the event of flight problems for their frequent fliers are worth the added cost of not shopping around. They actually all switched, collectively, from United to American last year or the year before in response to changes to United&#x27;s program.
