Just placed an order for 40 subs. The points will push me over the 2MM lifetime miles on AA.

Started with 0 miles in my AA account (switched to AA from BA shortly after joining FT) and 23K miles in my TWA account in March of 2000 when a friend of mine found FT via the WSJ's story on Pudding Guy and forwarded it to me (he recently got FC RT. to Lihue for 2 as a wedding present so it worked out for him ). He sent it to me because he knew that the home schooling curriculum I had devised for my child(ren) involved allot of world travel. Since then, thanks to FT, I have flown allot and been allot smarter about it, stayed in allot of Hiltons and reaped the benefits (150K+ in the HH account from 0 in March 2000 as I used to only stay in Marriotts), and participated in the Kellogg's(over $5K worth of food to ST Louis Food bank), valuemag's/goldpoint's(my 2 local libraries complete mag. subscription needs taken care of for at least 1 year and all points eventually awarded from GP's despite some hiccups), and now the Insideflyer/*woods promo's all thanks to info found on FT. In addition, I have been able to make my father's dream of flying on the Concord come true allot sooner than I otherwise would have been able to(used some of the GP's for BA and added my father to the household account).

It is only fitting that I achieve my original objective of lifetime AA Plat. by saying a big thanks to Randy and the FT community by subscribing to Inside Flyer, thereby doing my bit to help support FT. I am really pleased to have this (mile earning )opportunity to show my gratitude. Thanks Randy and all the helpful and enthusiastic FT'ers who make FT such an enjoyable and informative place.

Thank you, above all, for the incredibly positive experience and thanks in advance for all the cheap scholastic/leisure travel.
