But also only when those sites have bogo and similar sales too. I find that if I stick to Spanish and South American reds above the 10 $ mark, I get good enough quality for 10 to 15 bucks a bottle. They aren't great, but drinkable, for me. Better than the complimentary Admirals Club wine anyways.
But if you subscribe to laithwaites you will get 2500+ miles and they discount the case to $60 (plus shipping) and throw in 3 extra bottles. And you have 3 months until your next shipment so plenty of time to cancel. So you are spending half as much for more miles. Cancelling online takes under a minute; I'm not sure I understand the "hassle". It's saving you $90 for the same wine and you get more miles. If an extra minute of your time isn't worth saving $90, I want your job ... are you being paid to not coach Texas A&M or something?
