Therefore, I guess I don't really see the problem you raise as being a significant impediment. Certainly not one that would prevent me from earning all the FF miles I earn through CC usage.
I tink the point is that there are times when paying your CC is lower on the list of priorities given one's situation. Being overseas MAY not just entail being in, say, some friendly internet cafe in London. It may mean you are stationed to help out with medical issues in Iraq or something like that too. Likely your internet access is not as easily used as it would be elsewhere. I dunno.
and yeah this veers off subject too
