Yes. Click on the "glossary" link that appears at the bottom of every page. You'll also find a wealth of information in the FAQs. It can be a bit overwhelming at first, but many of the questions you're asking (as well as a lot it hasn't even occurred to you to ask yet) are covered there.
Thank you for your response. No offense taken. It is just that now I have time to do something like this. When I am fully engaged/employed I would never have time to consider doing Mileage runs. Just seemed intriguing.
Was wondering what profession you are in? Part of throwing out my circumstances is to network with other like kind individuals who share interests that I do - such as travel and earning miles and points. I am an audit / IT audit / Regulatory Compliance professional. If you are aware of any employment opportunities in the DFW metroplex please let me know. Many times it is not what you know but who you know. Perhaps you may know someone I know or inside information about opportunities. It may not be appropriate to use this forum to communicate my dilemma, I apologize now - I will not do it again. Thanks to anyone who may offer a lead.
I enjoy reading all of the posts. I think it would be great to have a group "educational" meeting in Dallas. Do you all do that sort of thing?
