indeed, my friend!

and I missed you in here lately--or was it just me.

as for SPG, I recently was able to transfer a bunch of family 250 survey points into my account and then into airlines where I actually needed about that much to reach an award level... You know, for an award I will probably never be able to redeem. But it was that, or paying up the $$$$ fee to buy miles from the scammer airlines.

Anyway, We need the FCC to step in here and devalue the currency or something. It is getting so out of control, that whatever you earned back in the day when it WAS a good thing to collect miles is now a hostage-holding nightmere of me trying to beef up old accounts, redeem the awards, and get out fast!

I am actually attempting to do this very thing and only have 2 main airlines with any points in them of any real significance as we speak. the rest is useless in my mind.

good for business? If everyone thought like me, they may change this mess

hope so! MM
