Hmmmmmmm,

Now THIS one makes me wonder...

I am about to go on XMASS vaction to Europe where c2it might have been handy for me in US/Euro currency transfers, but now, I dunno. Glad I never joined.

My only take on this one is this (something I have been saying all along):

Marketers (at C2it, etc.) should create their systems with more care and THEN release them to the public. Had THEY been more thorough in designing the C2it methods, it would better provide for their needs and limits, as well as our own. It is therefore, in a way, C2it who is to blame for letting their "product" out there with 'holes' in it, not us for finding such 'holes" and using them to our advantage!

That to me sounds a bit like "Indian Giving": What, they are MAD at you because you got miles? Hah! (Well had we done a better job maybe by using more banks to pad the transfer process, we might have 'hidden' the intent, but still...)

Even if we users were in part responsible for the demise, what is so wrong with sending money to one's self? It certainly is legal banking practice. In fact, just yesterday I DID get those Euros for my trip at the teller in my bank by writing a personal check to "SELF/CASH" and handing it to the teller. "This is the way it is done if you have an account here," said she...

And so it WAS written...And so it was done.

Anyway, if these guys can't hack it because people actually successfully earned miles by using them, then they outta get out of the pot anyway, I think. They lose out too. They will now not get MY business and yet I actually WAS going to use the service for more than just mile-earning! Oh well.

So don't feel bad for running the gig for the while... C2it will show up on the radar as the bad guys in the end.

There are bigger and better banks to go thru who are still legally letting everything be...

[Note that the money IN that above, non-miles-earning checking acct was put there as a result from my depositing a certain money order into it the previous day. BTW, teller told me that money orders are NOT cash--they are simply LIKE cash! Good to know, eh? A purchase is a purchase.]

(just my $.049cents worth, if ya catch my drift)

MM

See ya for a while! Tonite I fly!
Have a grande holiday season, all!
