He said comparing DL service to anything Mexican was an insult to Mexico.

So are you making a copy this time to "white out" if you need it in a few months?

I would fill out a separate form if icurhere2 SO bought a new car - Citi conveniently allows one to redeem rewards if anyone with the same legal residence buys a car, with the primary cardholder (e.g., "me") getting the check.

Some of my former coworkers and I seemed to have bad luck with DL. You and gbryan84 must have the good luck that I don't.

I thing 5 guys is much better. Maybe it was the wrong location??
I grew up in the land of Whataburger and of the Texas Stop Sign and I would say that 5 Guys is head and shoulders above both of those options.

DL has been great as far as upgrades and the snack basket go but using miles is another . I got lucky in that I was able to scoop up 250k miles for $550 which gave me enough for the V Australia tickets and 1 low J reward to Europe if one exists. If not it will turn into $1000 in AMEX gift cards.
