I know...I know.... its an oxymoron isn't it?

Sure is like Jumbo Shrimp and the Thundering Silence.

Still, I can't help but feel somewhat mediocre. It seems like I travel but compared to some people on here I might as well be sitting at home. What can I say? I'm envious.

Sure I got lots of status but none of it seems to be good enough. Is this a common disorder? I dunno. I guess at the core - I value good customer service and I will pay for it more than a brand.

The one thing I have recognized however is that elite status is truly the only way to be recognized. Paying top dollar seems to come in second. So after years of abstinence I signed up for multiple programs.

Now I face a crisis. How do I act as a good corporate citizen and not let my PointLust control my travel decisions while at the same time accelerate my earnings to keep my envy in check?

Any ideas?
