Come toobing, I'm sure we can figure out something.

Also, thanks for cooling your house. And for everything, it was really a blast.

Your welcome. I'm afraid to look at the airfare.

All my Chase accounts are CO (or UA now) mileage earning, so nothing special from an employer standpoint. Though that all may change with IBM. :eek:

Speaking of Chase, what was the minimum time period for the debit card/One Pass miles bonus deal...6 months? With the pending job change, I'll be stuck on a campus with no easy way to chalk up my $2.04 daily Dunkin' purchases. Other than that, I never used a debit card before or have reason to.

Yeesh, it's pretty bad. $328 on DL out of PHL is the best I see.

I'll expect you to be wearing a nice, bright white, long sleeved shirt and tie next time I see you.;)

I did PHL this past weekend because the difference was hundreds of dollars.

Yeah, if it isn't urgent, I would allow for a wide lattitude of response time. Due to CO firing so many res agents, there are not nearly enough folks to answer the phone much less respond to issues in a timely manner, which is unfortunate and in need of fixing.

Drop by any time, the water is nice. :)

Yeah, since I don't hold any Elite status (yet) I am stuck calling the normal line for assistance. The last several time I have tried has been crazy. Not even the ability to hold, just "use CO.com. Thanks. Click."

Yeah, Iron Ore is no way to get the airline's attention. ;)

If your current company is not "preferred" (or whatever the bs volcabulary should be) then I'd bet IBM would get you some breaks. Won't help with the shirt and tie though.. :p

EWR is a royal pain to get a cheap airfare from:(
It nearly guarantees a tarmac wait too:td:

I've just got a standard Chase free checking account, with no monthly fees as long as there's at least one direct deposit transaction into the account each month. I've had it since 2004, and opened it in Houston. I know there is some variance in account terms by region, and when the account was opened.

There are certain benefits to being the low man on the totem pole. :-:

AC is out in the Halfway House. I'm warm. Dogs aren't too happy either. :rolleyes:

Edit: $40 off rent and they come out tomorrow as AC people don't like to work in the dark.

:rolleyes:
