Remember the guy who sued Pepsi because they denied giving him a fighter jet in return for Pepsi points?

He never got the jet, took Pepsi to court, and lost.

But he never gave up, and now he’s finally received something that’s arguably even better.

Or at least more useful.

He didn’t get the fighter jet, but Frontier Airlines rewarded him with 7 million (!) miles, which means that he’ll basically be able to travel for free (on Frontier) for the rest of his life.
