You're of course, free to continue with the discussion you seem to be having with yourself--the "shoulds," the "coulds," the "doeses" (ignoring the thread's discounting/price increase focus). But it looks a little weird considering everyone else is talking about the "DIDS of the situation.

That's known as moving the goal post. After I point out that there is no reason that loyaly programs couldn't co-exists with an agency price model, you shift to "but some reseller X didn't continue their loyalty program". Hey, you will have to ask reseller X why they didn't continue their loyalty program. Maybe it was losing money and they were looking for an excuse to discontinue it. I was pointing out that the initial narrative that agency pricing shut down loyalty programs is false.
