It's like an addiction. Some people do crack. You and J.Edward do coins.

As tempting as even the small amounts seem, I just can't imagine the :rolleyes: I'll get at home with the scheme, or the hassles that having the boxes delivered to our loft will present. Our place isn't the easiest to find, and half the time UPS and FedEx have trouble getting stuff to our building correctly. On top of that, I'm never home during the week, and my partner doesn't get home until after 7:00 PM many nights. And I just don't need any other things I have to be responsible for taking care of right now with the load of cr@p I have going on at work.
I'm sure I'll look back on it at some point and wonder why I passed up such a golden point earning opportunity though. You will get :rolleyes: over and over and over. You'll find yourself hiding coin boxes and figuring how you explain the deposits. It's not pretty. |

Why would any guy want to do that? Just the thought of that would give me ED.

I read this as his flights were more expensive than yours? What was the issue? (I'm not too bright.. lol. :) )

Have any boxers stayed at the St. Regis in Houston lately? We're considering it Sat night. Upgrade %? It's not a mattress run (though he was trying to go non status and I said, but I am in need of nights my friend) but celebrating when Plus1 got smart enough to make me an honest woman ;)
Good night, box! |

Agreed. And this also has to dovetail with our JFK-BCN trip for New Years so there are some limitations.
Royal Air Moroc (and I'm sure others) flies BCN, and while often viewing schedules more as guidelines, they're pretty inexpensive and pleasant, so a flight up once in Africa would probably have been pretty efficient. |

I just placed my first coin order. This could get interesting.
I figure I can churn $1500-$2k a week without much issue. I'm not going to attempt for $71k or anything. 2K isn't bad... except when the N/A's are on backorder :rolleyes: Got lucky today... caught the UPS driver right as he was about to drive off... already left the notice on my window... and made it back down to his brown wagon... now which branch to deposit at tomorrow (today) :D |

The box's media blitz continues. I was interviewed at EWR for CBS News. They were doing a segment on CO's entry into Star and Mileage whoring in general. It should be interesting to see how much of it makes it into the news.

G'morning, Box. Have to wait for UPS this morning to deliver my box of business cards (not coins). Plus I need to do most of my packing for this weekend's HNL run this morning. Still trying to figure out how to get my scuba gear into a bag that is the appropriate size to take on the city bus from HNL to the hotel. That's always interesting. |

Wow, CAS and back for Christmas time would be a lot of pond hopping, if you're already booked JFK/BCN for NYrEve.

Plus, my wife actually is willing to make the multi-TATL transits and I think it is funny that she's up for it so I'm going to try to get that to happen. |

Good morning, Box.

I think I am going to abstain from the coin thing, at least for now. I recognize the potential benefits from doing it with the Fidelity AmEx, but I am concerned that the program will expire and I'll be stuck with a card I won't use. AmEx already canceled one card on me because I didn't use it. I'd rather not have all that on my credit report.
