+1 to finding ways to reward long term customers in these type ways.

Maybe after each each year a reward and every 6 months a minor one.  Good for business.  Good for us.

If the MiG 15 is ever available in the LW arena that will be the day I cancel my account and never look back.

Ah, the entitlement generation attempting to make AH no refuge from such mentality. 'I enjoy this game so much that I feel someone owes me.' There's not an airline in business that does't wish the guy that invented the frequent flyer program was never born. :t :lol

:airplane: I am sure that will never happen! If it does, it would be in the Korean arena, which I guess is on the drawing boards, at least that is the latest rumor! LOL

I got 10 perks in one trip in a bombers last night, perks are easy.

As a long time customer (almost 12 years) I am amply rewarded. I get to play the best flight game out there when ever I want!

Why would any customer who has been loyal as long as some of has even think of looking for a reward? I could see giving something out for a new guy staying for a year. Once they hang for a year, you have them pretty well hooked  :devil

If anybody, it should be new subscribers to get a small 'appetizer' in terms of 10-20 perks per category. I think that would make much sense especially in the vehicle category.
Everybody playing here for several years is not that much in need of perks that he would have to beg for 10 of them   :old:

For the experienced player, bomber perks are indeed easy to get. Of course, for the new player, not so much. Takes quite some time to figure it all out and then to apply that knowledge.  Been there, done that  :D

But now? When I came back as 'Snailman', it took me exactly 12 hours and 16 minutes of playtime to get past the 300 perks a formation of B-29 costs. I figure I could have cut that time by a further 30% if I had really had concentrated on perk framing exclusively.  :joystick:

How about 75 perks in each category when you subscribe after your free two-week trial, then 20 perks each month for 4 months to get the new guy going. After that, they must be earned.

Sounds good to me. If everyone agrees that perks are easy to get, then I don't see why this can't be implemented. Plus it's to a new guy, so a good chance if they use any of them, they will lose em just as fast  :joystick:
