What they do is cancel your entire trip. So if you don't have flights with the same airline on the way back....eh

Yep, and if you have a rewards or membership number, they just will ban you. If it happens once not a big deal, couple times even, start doing it regularly though, you will get caught.

Depends, the free bags, the upgrades, everything else on it can be worth it if you travel or fly enough, but obviously a lot of people don't think about it and are just spending extra for something they can't fully utilize.
