Hi, yes, I am a Mileage Junkie...
Almost all of the above applies to me, plus I just spent hours on the phone with a UA agent working through a complicated intl itinerary that includes 2 overnight layovers... just to avoid having to fly intl on an airline on which I have no status and on which the miles won't do me any good. (If any - they're not partners with ANYone! yuck)
And last week, a friend of mine was saying she wouldn't want to be in a relationship with a guy who lived across country, and I immediately said I would LOVE to meet a man from far away - think of the MILES we would earn visiting each other!!! Think of it - go on dates, get miles! What could be better than that?!?!? She thinks I'm out of my mind...
Maybe I really do need help...
