But seriously, while some of the deals in the past have been very cool in that they gave lots of miles for little effort, I think the more notable cases are where people went through a lot of effort to get miles. Both could make interesting stories...
that wouold make a great thread! In fact, start it cuz if you dont I will.

One friend told me he added up what he thought I "spent" to get x number of miles and then said if I had bought the ticket I later used them on with cash outright, it would have been cheaper.

I mentioned that he forgot the fact this gives me a rise.
