The Marriott deal brought my mileage obsession to a whole new level. I feel as if I've made a transition from Class B to Class A narcotics.
Anyway the money is now spent, hopefully the 35,00 points will land into my TCC account shortly and convert to 84,000 BA Miles at the end of this quarterly cycle. As those BA Miles have now been earmarked towards a trip to HKG (and NRT), I suppose I can take from this activity a new meaning to the phrase "chasing the dragon"
