Abstract
Frequent flyer programs encourage airline brand loyalty by customers. These popular programs have been the subjects of much discussion on whether or not the frequent flyer miles received by customers are taxable. Although many scholars favor taxing the miles, we propose that there are considerable problems of timing and valuation. Therefore, the frequent flyer miles should not be taxed.
