Beckles:
Given the interest shown on this board regarding this promotion, I don't think you have to worry about being one of the first 50!
I noticed you traded to get the LSC miles. Why? Anyone can sign up and choose which airline to get miles in.
Are you avoiding Sentry because you don't want a potential credit report hit, worried that it will be a hassle to get them to pay up, or some other reason? (It's been almost 2 weeks since I got a quote, and there is no posting of miles yet. I'll give it another week or two and then follow up.)
