Why Do Competing Airlines Allow Reciprocity for their Frequent Flyer Miles?

Asked by hoist2k (99points) February 17th, 2010

I’m taking a flight on Continental. They allow me to use my US Airways or United frequent flyer number and gain points on the competing airline. Why would they do that? Doesn’t that defeat the point of a customer loyalty program?
