David VarghaI go back to my original analogy from josh's thread, this sounds like the equivalent of Exxon/Mobil having a toll booth at the entrance to every service station.
Weird analogy. Using your word picture, it's more like the equivalent of Exxon/Mobil having a toll booth at the entrance to every service station that you have to pay at once and only once. After that, you get in free with a wave of your Exxon/Mobil "preferred card" as long as you get gas every once in a while. (To be more accurate, it'd be more like you get in free with a wave of your Exxon/Mobil "preferred card" as long as you drive into their station every few months.)
