thanks ranles,
I'll do some checking
I really didn't know about the other link - I'm the executor of my parent's estate (what a job) and was thinking about these miles/points while I was mowing the lawn.
P.S. any FTer's out in the Seatle area let me know - we'll go out sailing. Sorry - I'll be in LHR Sept29-Oct1.
Cheers
DR
