Problem with Yapta is that it's only really worth it for very heavy fliers, but those people have enough money not to care about $25-100 saved on any particular flight. For big companies whose execs fly a lot, it might be a good idea, but it takes staffing and man-hours (= money) to set up and track the accounts. This is time that could be put into other more profitable work. For the average airline passenger, its utility is marginal because people don't have the time for this type of thing.
