I always drive to those destinations (I don't travel without my bike very often)

How long do those transfers take? I may need to transfer and redeem some AGR points next month...

I also need to find a way to transfer 1k points from another program (in addition to the 5k miles from CO) so I can avoid the 4k orphaned AGR points that would result from transferring 10k CO miles.

IIRC, transfers from CO to AGR usually post on Sunday. So, if you get your request in before the OPSC closes on a Friday you should have AGR points the following Monday.

No my friend who works at EZE is coming here, if he can get on the flight tonight.

SEA-YVR is 1k points each way - even more of a bargain IMHO ;)

Didn't someone say recently that OPSC was rolled into reservations or something like that?

Has anyone been to Monument Valley, UT? How long do you need to do it properly?

Thus endeth my 4,000th post on FT.

Congrats on 4k, Trustguy!

And also the one in AZ? Isn't that one more iconic? I've read a day in AZ is plenty since it's tribal lands and you need to be escorted. When I was considering it, I was planning on a sunset/sunrise and not much more. It's really in the middle of nowhere and that killed my plans.

No -- it was supposedly WeCare that was rolled in.

:mad: :rolleyes: :td:

ETA: BTW, I just emailed them AGAIN with the same exact email. I hope I get a competent rep to answer my email this time.

Try calling the elite line and asking to be transferred to the OPSC.

I've just done it but not in the "in depth way". Forget Four Corners Monument (since it's really not on the 4 corners) unless you go before the concession stands open. I had friends that did some horse back riding into the more natural places and enjoyed it.

It's awfully pretty scenery especially early and late in the day, by a full moon or after a rain storm.

Every exit row seat on my 739 wednesday is $$$ $$$ $$$ $$$ with no one sitting in them. Rest of plane minus 4 is full. wonder what starts to happen now, maybe a silver will snag it free at OLCI, or maybe employees will be in the $$$ $$$$ seats.
