A guy bought a lifetime unlimited first class American Airlines ticket for $250,000

yeah, did they give him a refund on this?

here's the story http://nypost.com/2012/05/13/freequent-flier-has-wings-clipped-after-american-airlines-takes-away-his-unlimited-pass/

they revoked it under fraud as he had used fakes names for the $150,000 companion ticket, interesting story to read though, $3 million for the same ticket in 2004, no one bought it, hasn't been offered since

He often did. There's a link to the full story in an earlier comment.
