Uh, that's my private stuff man. How is it that "CanadianCow" can't appear to be "Canadian"? hahaha

Edit: And where's your embarq link? (a little slow from lots of drink)

Dear Mister Cargo,

I have the unfortunate situation of having to use ALL my eUpgrades in the next few days to upgrade flights for myself and my friend Ryan, whom you have met.

Would you be so kind as to upfare all my bookings to business class, so that I may retain my eUpgrade credits?

Thank you.

Your most trusted friend,
Scott

I'm sorry Mr. American Moo Resident, but "Unfortunately Embarq is only available for Canadian residents right now."

For a company that is paid to fly you around the world, they're sure dumb when it comes to locking out IP addresses...
It's even more frustrating if you are actually in Canada but have a computer that looks like it's in the US, because that's how IT works at the company I work for (Canadian sub of a US company, likes to control all IT from the US). Ugh.

Well, I'm done with embarq for the next bit. I think I dropped over $6k into random AC customers: 26, 26, 624, and 5390. If I can't be #1 in EYW at least I can be the first to fully fund a few embarq'ers. We'll see how fulfillment works now. Anyone read the T&C or Rules or whatever they call them?

I'm sure AC has no problems taking money. I hope they have no problems handing it to these beneficiaries.

Quick! Everyone get their BS SOB stories in! (BS and/or SOB stories not required, but adds to the fun of it, IMHO)
