Thinking of watching the Browns makes me want to drink.

Glad I decided to reconcile my SPG account this afternoon. I'm missing almost 2,000 points.

Enough to get my attention as well.

I'll be there in an hour ;)

I'm now thinking "perhaps DL will match".

Would you normally credit to UA MP rather than to the Hyatt program? I know that when SPG does a similar promo is it generally still not worthwhile as the SPG points are way more valuable than the airline points.

With Hyatt, you give up base points (very valuable) but still earn the diamond check-in points and amenities (free breakfast, etc.). As much as a Hyatt point collector I am, I would have to go with the 5,500 FF miles on most of my less expensive stays ...

I get your points, but it's just got a bad sound to it. Now I'm thinking it could be a term for groupies who don't get all the way to the band members.

Something I had already figured out with Firefox 3.5, 3.5.1, and 3.5.2 - the upgrade to 3.5.3 requests that one use a different Flash player to avoid "security and stability issues".

After receiving email from DL suggesting he do so, he checked in for a flight tomorrow. A short while later he discovered he needed to catch a later flight. DL wouldn't let him change his ticket since he'd already checked in. They made him purchase another and canceled the first. I believe he's a DL Plat. I have no idea what number he called. He is PISSED.

Sounds like typical DL BS. I've had similar experiences with them, and it's why I usually won't fly them unless I really have no other choice. Despite my home airport being their headquarters and largest hub, I've flown DL fewer than 15 times since moving to Atlanta, and continue to avoid them as much as possible. I just never find them all that pleasant to deal with.

At least the rain fairy has hit southeast Texas lately - which is a good thing.

Happy birthday to rolov and colpuck, and anyone else's birthday I missed or is coming up.

Sounds like the temporary job is going well for you — have my fingers crossed this is going to quickly turn into a full time, long-term gig.

I hope CO considers sending ERJs to Campeche once the :-: transition happens. AM is the only carrier serving CPE, and it's a longish drive from either Playa Del Carmen or Merida to there. One more dirt strip in Mexico couldn't hurt, now could it? :D

You mean there's actually a dirt strip or pueblo in Mexico that COEX doesn't fly to?

I know I'm missing a similar amount from Marriott as well, but I didn't know my SPG account was so far off. Tonight I plan on finishing checking the Marriott and Hilton accounts, and then contact all three about the missing points.

I took ALCO's advice when checking into the W New Orleans tonight and nicely asked about a SPG Platinum upgrade… and here I sit in my Marvelous Suite. :D

Amateurs. Without any runs and none of my work trips between now and the end of the year, i'm at 210k. Only 600k more until 2MM!

Why is it I'm always traveling alone for work when I get great suite upgrades like this?
