The holding bag inside the Penny Arcade only takes 100 dollar coins at a time. Be warned, sir. ^ You are much better off trying to get a teller to take them over the desk since they are already wrapped.

Uggg..morning box. Got a case of something and my head feels like it's about to explode, if it ever decides to stop spinning. :(
I was planning on doing some banking today to the tune of $6,500 but it'll be a miracle if I manage to make it out of bed. |

Bummer! Are you sure? That doesn't seem like it's anywhere near enough. I thought dropping a few thousand in there would lead to quite a bit of fun. Thanks for the warning!

My $1500 in coins took almost 35 minutes, and that was with having two people help me.
Not sure if there's one near you, but you might want to check it out. |
Looks like I got my status match on NW but it is only valid through Feb 2010.:(:td: At least it gets me through the two fligts I have booked with Delta.
Since Im already at 83k EQM on CO. Should I start earning NW on the rest of my CO flights for the year to diversify or do you think Im better off with CO miles in the end. Note: I plan on using 200k CO miles on a trip for next summer and currently have around 310k miles. |

Far be it for me to endorse Chase on anything, but I've found they often will happily take the deposits (but the old WaMu branches balk...go figure.)

UA MIA Diversion Update:
This is the email I received on what happened: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...l#post12093400ok, here goes... this is what I heard from a friend who got the scoop from someone who called ***** directly. Ok, it's 45 min into the 11-hr flt from gru and the capt calls back to the purser saying he wants his crew dec (not gendecs-- crew dec). she says, sorry i forgot to bring it up earlier, i'll bring it up at the next potty brk. No, I need it now. well, I'm in the middle of the service right now, working a cart, there's only 3 of us back there. it'll have to wait until the next lav brk. No, I need it now. Ok, whatever, she brings it up, and of course there's no one to guard the door for the 3 person rule, so she slides it under the door. Done. Well, cut to after the svc when she goes up to do the potty break. f/o comes out, she goes in. Capt starts yelling at her so loudly that the f/o hears it in the lav, the f/c galley girl doing the guard duty hears, and the entire f/c cabin hears. the f/o apologizes to the f/a saying he's been a total dick the whole 4 day trip. Doesn't allow them to call him by his name (which btw is ***** ******) but they must only call him "sir". sheesh. sounds like a wiener, er, winner. So later, she goes on break and in the middle of her break the f/c girl wakes her up and tells her she's got to get ready, they're landing in 30 min. Well, she whips into action, thnking of course that there's a full prep coming. Gets on the phone to the cockpit "do you want to do this over the phone, or should I go up there?" "No, you've been relieved of your duties, I am not speaking to you anymore" He gets on the pa, "ladies and gentlemen, we are landing in mia in 30 min" Period. (heard from someone else that he refused to go to mco where there are ual personnel, don't know about that) In the meantime, the crew (other than the purser and f/c girl) didn't know a thing about what was going on. Even the other pilots weren't told anything until last minute. One was on break. He planned this all on his own. So they land in mia at 0416 and pull up to the gate, and there's police and tsa and fire dept all there, guns drawn. They only know that there's an emergency and the flt is landing at mia at 0416. But apparently they had the purser's name. "are you ***** ********?" "yes" "come with us" she goes out on the jetbridge, and they ask what happened. Captain comes out, and says....... "She's a TERRORIST and I want her arrested!" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "what happened?" "She defied the captain's authority. she refused to bring my crew dec when i asked for it and slid it under the door" the authorities are all sympathetic with ***** and look at him like he's crazy, but she stays in mia and the flt goes on to ord. they land in ord and are met by all the ual people incl **** ******, etc. Everyone is interviewed individually and all tell the same story. (incl pilots) capt refused to speak w/o alpa. he's on suspension, his licence suspended. ***** lays over in mia, comes back to ord and has an atty. Everyone was very sympathetic to her. I guess all is ok with her. Again, this is 3rd hand story, take it as such, but sounds pretty scary!! PHEW!!! That's all I have... |

I'm starting to feel sorry for the nice tellers at the small, local, savings bank we use...

When I make a deposit, I always have other business at the bank (checks to deposit, etc.) and will only take as many coins as I can carry in my hands - no backpacks or carts for me.
