If that becomes law of the land, it will dramatically shift the US airline market/revenue picture.
That will never pass. The main reason that the points systems exist like they do is becuase of politicians beneting from it. That is why they are tax free as well.
Think about it...how many hotel and airline points do politicians rack up during the year with all of their staffers traveling. They can then use it all for their personal travel, tax free.
