I'm entering hotel point burning mode - this is the first summer that's looked like a "summer" in my profession. Officially I only need to show up in the office once a week, which will definitely permit a few trips to "wherever low mileage redemptions can be found on short notice".

Should finish HH in a few more stays. :)

Woo hoo! ^ I've yet to get to Silver! Hoping to make up for 'lost' time -- this summer! ;) My goal is to get at least Gold -- Plat will be a real stretch for me!:rolleyes:

I understand! Sounds like the HNL trip will be great -- esp. w/the suite upgrade!^

I'm among the group that only needs a few more stays to requalify through Feb 2012 (maybe even before FFN traditionally comes in the fall).

...and you will see that the speculation has already started... Rollover stay credits will put the nail in the SPG coffin (I keep saying that).

If you define steady hand as "remember to purchase tickets with the AmEx".

I have 6 sitting on my desk and expect to use two of those domestically.

I had a goal this year to get AA PLT status by doing 5k per month. Well, in mid-may, I am on track. June is set. August and September are set. I may just requalify for PLT.

Scott6067 May 20, 2010 10:06 pm

I need something nice!!
