Yes, Robert, you are an idiot.
I'll bet he refuses to buy things on sale either, because he "feels more satisfied" after paying full price for an item.
The world needs chumps like him to offset shrewd buyers like us.</font>
I'm basically with you. Maybe with a little less vigor, but on the same page.
Look, for some people FF miles and programs are a pain, other like 'em. We like 'em.
There are alot of ways to save $ in the world. For some people it's worth it, others could care less. I personally think many mile schemes are a great way to stuff for pretty much little effort other than basic organizational skills and a bit of investigation. FT makes those two components even easier. For me, it's just stupid not to do it.
PS - Robert enjoy your 500 mile drive to Bryce Canyon and the best western. I'll be flying to Hawaii and staying at top notch resorts for a few weeks in March. This was done with FF miles courtesy of no flights, my $85 yearly CC fee and a bit common sense enchanced by this website.
It's tough being a slave in paradise.
Aloha.
