My two cents:
I just got off the phone with Julie at Goldpoints and bizzare as it sounds they are going to give those in the know 450 points per dollar till 12/31 (at least that's the story de jour). Thanks to the posters who found out how to extend subscriptions and that it was still alive. I'm going back in to renew a bunch. Some really good mags and some future great trips. I'm already planning a trip to finally see the pyramids and the transit of Venus in 2006. Plus I got my best friend a nice Three Kings Day present form Hickory Farms!
