00:00In 1990, United Airlines was offering its customers a lifetime flying pass for unlimited travel.
00:07Stuker jumped at the chance to invest in a companion pass.
00:10That means that for the then hefty price of $510,000, he could fly with a partner first class on
00:18any future United Airlines flight.
00:20He's now 69. He's already traveled more than 23 million miles.
00:25For Tom, there's no such thing as a once-in-a-lifetime type of trip.
00:28He once brought a friend who loves Chinese food to Hong Kong for a meal and flew to Australia for
00:33a three-hour, 70th birthday party.
00:36He and his wife have taken over 100 honeymoons, but Stuker isn't just leaving with memories.
00:40He's been racking up airline points and miles along the way, cashing in on high-end hotel suites, gift cards,
00:46cruises, and gourmet meals.
00:48He once cashed $50,000 worth of Walmart gift cards in a single day.
00:53He even earned a guest appearance on a Seinfeld episode, all on United's dime.
00:59With perks like that, it's no surprise that the airline no longer offers such extravagant opportunity,
01:04and yet the company adores him.
01:05The airline has even put his name on two of its airplanes.
01:08The owner ages of $50,000 worth of other people's temperament.
01:08I think the other people weren't going to be ran in Italy right now, and for old Aaron.
01:08I remember it's up in just a few months ago by town.
01:08I remember the name of an ambassador because in today's, I'm normal.
