Thanks for you replies. You guys are great.

Well, I took your advice and signed up with Aadvantage. It does seem to have a lot of non-travel earning opportunities. The Idine looks great since I eat out a lot.

I decided to sign up with Sprint to push my Hawaiian miles over 10000. I'll get an interisland R/T then at least those miles won't be wasted. I only need the amount of miles that you get after the first bill, so in two months I'll probably switch to AT&T and Aadvantage.

Now, if only I could figure out something to do with 12000 British miles. Maybe I'll do both for now.

I've gotta say, this site is so addictive. You guys really know your stuff. I've spent many hours reading it over the past week or so. You guys really make me want to get out and travel. I'm really tempted to do fly twice to NYC so I can get my free ticket through AA. I'd love to use it to go to the Caribbean. Too bad most of my friends aren't that interested in travelling. Oh well, I should probably not get too carried away at first.

One thing that I have been having trouble with is all the acronyms. I've seen the glossary, but I still don't get the references to the all the different fare classes and how you figure out which fare you're on. Is there someplace I can look that up?

Thanks again.
