Title of this Bloomberg article got me thinking - A few stocks offer shareholders perks. Like I remember Crimson Wine Group gave shareholders a discount on their wine. Has an airline tried this with status? People love status, and will do some uneconomic things for it.
Using Delta as an example - I don't know, maybe give 1 MQD per share, assuming the shares have been held for at least a year? Like if you are willing to tie up $1m+ in Delta stock, you get Diamond status. Seems fair? I bet some people would do it. Not me. But somebody.
@ShortSightedCap I haven't come across any global airline that rewards shareholders with status upgrades but the Japanese airlines have benefits for retail shareholders of discounted tickets among other perks. ana.co.jp/group/en/inves… jal.com/en/investor/gu…
@ShortSightedCap Restaurant apps that offer fractional shares as reward, who says no?
