Nah - the MAN-HAM flyer might be partial to FAT-AOK (Karpathos). ;)

Or Fresno to Yuma (FAT-YUM).

I'm catching up on putting flights into the Penalty Box FM. Apparently I'm behind all the way to April. :eek:

I also am apparently the only person to have an A321 this year. :-:

If I ever put my flights in there I did SEA-PHL on an US A321

Most people say I'm not "fat" but I'm indeed heavy (much less heavy now).

I will shift the rest of my month's charges to the CO PP MC!:p

I'll run into something similar as well - my (SkyTeam partner) Platinum AmEx has a promotion for double miles (up to $5,000) at grocery stores and gas stations between now and December 31.

I think I should get the Chase PP MC and start earning valuable Flex Miles @:-)

I need entertainment. Updates of today. I had a good chat with the head hunter. He's sending my resume to one company. Of course the office is in South Jersey. I really want to get closer to NYC to be honest. One person I know that worked for that company in a different office is perplexed as the south jersey office was cell towers and not transportation. Applied for the other job I mentioned around 5 PM. That was easy since it was Monster only applications. God state agencies can get lazy. Hit apply, confirm to use the current resume, select ethnicity and gender and it's all done.

That's apparently one area where TN is more complicated than NJ.

My son lost a lot of weight at camp -- played tennis every day! He was a bit 'heavy' & looks much better now.

I have the same promo for the dbl miles -- but usually pay cash for gas in NJ (b/c there's a discount), but will charge gas in COS & VA (where there is no discount). I put all the groceries on AMEX, but no risk of hitting up agst the max!

It's a good deal -- I usually focus most of my spending on that card, until I got 'side-tracked' w/the AMEX offer. ;)

If I get teh card, I should have no problem earning Flex miles in a month ;)

true that!:D;)

Good night all. I guess by the time I get up you would have all passed 78K.



Oh, AMEX called to check up and verify my charges. They read off the mint charges for $2,500 and $5,000 and a Wal-Mart charge for $12. I told them everything is ok and the charges were mine.

Remember one can purchase gift cards at grocery stores for locations that ordinarily wouldn't provide double miles. Then again, I insist upon using the credit card directly when I need the extra warranty (e.g. my netbook).
