Last year Dutch airline KLM conducted a very interesting social media driven rewards program. Instead of just allocating points or gifts to frequent flyers they identified passengers who had checked in on Foursquare, or were tweeting about waiting for a KLM flight. A team of people checked the social profiles of the these passengers for clues about their personality, and choose gifts that somehow reflected the online content available on their social networking profiles.
