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?
Not sure where this 2500 miles is, right now all I see is 1500 miles on eshopping for subscribing for a 12 pack of preselected wines, for 70 plus shipping with a free twofer.
Anyways,
1. I am not trying to max miles. Only earn on what I buy anyways. I generally have more miles in than I have uses for going out.
2. I dont want the wines they put in in the $80 to $90 cases (after shipping) on the subscription packages. Miles or not, $90 for 14 bottles of the quality of wine my inlaws (who never drink wine but buy it to appear fancy at christmas) would buy is a poor value. I like making my own cases and focusing my choices mostly on the bottles I know I like. $140 for wines that I like is better than 90 for wines I dont. And I dont have to make an effort to unsubscribe.
