You need to wait 6 months before closing the account or Chase may take the miles back. You can only churn 1 account type each calendar year.

I either purchase an eBay card or a Shell card (for when I travel).

You can only open one type of account (ie. personal) per year for the bonus miles! Could you open a business account -- as in a sole proprietorship?

According to my statistically accurate computing platform in my hand, I get 1.5mpg less out of fuel from sams club than from shell or HEB....that is taking into account variance based on city/distance driving.

My car also doesn't like Sam's club fuel much and I end up adding octane booster. No wonder they sell it at the pump there now....

Even though she was a disaster at the vet, like she always is, I took her to Burger King for chicken tenders.

In icurhere2-ville, there are indeed stations that advertise when they have ethanol-free fuel.

Wow -- I had no idea!:rolleyes: For the driving I do in VA -- lots of going up & down mountains -- mileage efficiency is not really paramount -- just needing lots of gas!:eek::rolleyes:

Does Roxy always get chicken tenders? Perhaps you could pick up some on the way to the vet and work on conditioning?

I think the 25k just started last year, prior to that i think it was 20k.

I have been using mileage/fuel monitoring platform on my phone for the last 12,000 miles on my car, it tracks the stations with gps, distance traveled by gps and by odometer, pretty nifty app.
