Of course! But, it will be reserved for 1Ks and PPlats only.

I think Jermaine Jackson is loading the gate checked bags on my XJet flight.

Definitely seeing an overnight in IAH tomorrow due to this snow.

I can't chop photos to save my life. I was trying to do a short bus with a CO tail and sfogate's head in the driver's side window.

If your plans for drinking are near Downtown/Midtown, I could join in (after 09:15pm :rolleyes:).

For those following along with the on again, off again saga of sbm12's "bankruptcy" and inability to get the Schwab CC because they think I'm a deadbeat, I'm happy to report closure on the issue. I finally got approved yesterday. Helllllloooooo 0% FX. :D :D :D

Congratulations. :D

I'm still 20 stays away from requal. I didn't milk the promo at the end of last year quite as well as you did. ;)

I had this dilemma, but I think I will just keep building up my SPG balance.

Yeah. Right now, I'm considering anything over 200K in teh SPG balance as surplus (which could be swapped over to other mileage programs). I only need to transfer about 35K SPG to BA right now to accomplish an IPC run in J on LA.

Thinking of adding a new dot

Not at all easy.

No longer online but still available if you call (866.724.9220x1). The 0% f/x is very nice, as is the 2% cash back to my brokerage account. I plan to cut up my HH and AA Visa cards as soon as this one arrives and is active.

I also got a pretty decent starting limit - 5 figures - so I'm happy about that. The woman on the phone processing it almost sounded upset that she couldn't give me a higher limit.

Unlikely. They're slow on the uptake for such things generally, though getting better.

Morning, Box.

Can no haz extra day in SJU, due to angry and inept client in MIA. :(:mad:

To add insult to injury (or maybe injury to insult in this case) I must fly US to MIA.

From HPN, looks like you'd take a bus to White Plains, take Metro-North to Grand Central, then take the subway to Jamaica, switching to the Airtrain.

My assumption is that both of these trips would take at least a couple of hours.

See also this thread on getting from HPN to Midtown.

Thanks
