I just signed up for a frequent flyer account, a frequent #1 car-renter account, and a frequent "Honors" hotel-user account. I think that some other industries should start with these frequent user accounts.

Here are a few I'd like to see:

1) R.J. Reynolds Frequent Smoker Club: 100,000,000 cigarette points gets you your choice of a free lung or a "Kiss Kasket."

2) Uncle Sam Frequent Payer Program: $10 of payed taxes = 1 Uncle Sam Point. Use your Uncle Sam Points the same way Uncle Sam uses your cash! Here are just a few of the wonderful products and services you can buy with your Uncle Sam Points:

A multifunction screw driver: it puts screws in and take them out; 10,000 USP.
A piece of pork-barrel legislation that gives business tax breaks for building on your own personal land! 100,000 USP.
Your very own "get out of jail free" card (just like the politicians use!); 500,000 USP.

You just might look for ways to pay extra taxes just to accumulate those valuable Uncle Sam Points!

3) The Frequent "Frequent" club: Earn points every time you join a frequent anything club.

4) The Frequently Lazy club: Earn points good for gadgets that help you become even more lazy. Earn points for things like driving your car across the street when you could have just as easily walked; Earn points for important lazyness enabling devices in your home like remote controls, "The Clapper", or a maid; Earn points for calling in to work "sick" to watch TV or sleep; Earn double points for all lazyness enabling devices including fast food purchased on your Lazy Card.
