I have had it with this samsung omnia phone. No keyboard, just a touch screen. It stinks. I am going to bring this back to the verizon store now.

DO registration is now officially closed. I guess I officially missed the boat. :(

Too bad, because I've been diligently doing the Zamboni races on NHL 09 from 2k sports for wii in the hopes it would give me an edge in the Tug races. :rolleyes:

One of the issues involved in CC trades is what to do in the event of wanting or needing to change your airline or hotel reservation. For example, if you have a reward ticket that was purchased with miles or points from someone else's account, you may either need that person to make the changes for you or have their account number and pin in order to make any changes, depending on how the reward program in question works and whether they require pin confirmation with each modification. That can complicate things.

(Disclaimer - never done one myself.)

The problem is, is the potential conflict still exists. I don't want to waitlist if I can't :rolleyes:.

Besides, if the conflict clears I could just pull some strings and call Pandy directly.

Anyone know the approximate value of an HHonors point, for the purpose of the Coupon Connection? I doubt I will ever use mine, and am curious to know what their approximate value would be. SPG is easy, as it's generally 1:1 with most airline programs, but HHonors points are harder to pin a value on.

How many HH points do you have and what are you interested in?

I will have about 50K at the end of February. I don't really have any plans for them. I'm just curious about relative value, as I view them primarily as trade-bait. I doubt I will ever redeem them. AFAIK, you can't redeem HHonors points for suites like you can with SPG points.

HHonors has been my back-up program for two years now, and will likely remain so, as it usually has properties in a locale when SPG does not. I will probably slowly continue to grow the balance over time, and the 500 BA Miles Double-Dip never hurts.

All I have for trade bait right now are two non-expiring PClub passes. I would love to replace the HH points I spent on the SEA trip, but I've got nothing to offer.

I find it amazing that not a single PB member has entered a flight to/from EWR into the FM.

Clearly the EWR based flyers are slacking. At least i'll be adding PHX-EWR on Friday, assuming I can get there.

I say 2 HH points=1 airline mile (except VS which are 1:1 in my book)

Yep. I never flew on any of CO's classic widebodies (DC-10s, 747s & A300s).

I was supposed to fly a CO DC-10 in May 2009 on MCO-IAH, but the flight was massively delayed and we were able to get on an earlier 727 flight. Turned out it was my last CO 727.

I did manage to get the CO DC-10 two years later in September 2001, when I flew it on IAH-LAX in the pointy end. The type was retired by CO less than a month later in the 9-11 aftermath.

If you spend $200k or $220k, you can live in communities that would cost at least four or five times that in more prosperous areas of the country.

Detroit is similar. We once were looking at real estate listings in Detroit and found we could afford to pay cash for three adjacent houses just with what was in our checking accounts that day. :eek:
