If you participate an an airline’s frequent flyer program, or ever have in the past, what have you spent your miles on? Sorry, this poll will not contain a “not applicable” option. If you’ve never earned frequent flyer miles in your life please skip this poll.

That damn genie is back again. This time he offers you a deal: he will give you $100 million, tax free, no strings attached, no authorities questioning where you got it, etc. The only condition is you have to agree that for the rest of your life, you will drink only hot beverages, or only cold beverages. If you choose hot beverages, you cannot drink anything colder than 125 F (50 C). If you choose cold beverages, you cannot drink anything hotter than 40 F (5 C). The genie will arrange that you are never deprived of drinks due to inability to find the appropriate temperature beverage (for example, while camping); he will heat or cool whatever you drink accordingly. What do you choose? _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/5702))_ ---

Because @pjd invalidated the results of my last poll by selecting options at random rather than skipping it, we have to run it again. **I still request that people who have never participated in a frequent flyer program skip this poll.** If you participate an an airline’s frequent flyer program, or ever have in the past, what have you spent your miles on? I also added a few options I didn’t think of in the last one.

You see a large crowd of people protesting in public, peacefully - thousands, in fact. Could be a protest for any cause - gun control, the environment, healthcare reform, etc. Later, you learn that these protesters are paid - they are each receiving a considerable sum of money per day that they stand and hold protest signs. Does this affect how you view the cause that the protesters are supporting? _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/5706))_ ---
