How to Know You're an Out of Control Miles ****
Went for dinner to a really great sushi place in South Beach that I used to go to often when I lived in that neighborhood. I've gone less recently, because the parking is the pits.. BUT they're on AA I-Dine, 10 miles per dollar spent onc a month. The proprietor was so happy to see my partner and me that he gave us a 20 per cent "VIP Customer Discount." And all I could think of when the check arrived was "fewer miles."

When your teen learns that the best way to ask for something is "It's on sale, and you'll still earn XX miles for it!"
