Box,

I am considering a brief trip back to the sunny confines of SoCal this weekend. Do I dare Mattress Run as I could log 4 stays for under $400...

I don't think SoCal is too sunny these days. :)

If you're chasing Hyatt stays, you can get four for under $350. There are a few SS at $71 for the AAA rate.

Those are the main issues that have raised the ire of the folks earning miles.

I've got 3x GEG runs that week in April when we are going (I go back 2x after the one on sat/sun with you) and I'm really not sure if I should credit to CO or BD.

Also, if anyone is having trouble finding a copy of the article I have a PDF copy. I'm not posting it online for the whole world because I do actually believe in copyright to a reasonable extent but I'm happy to share directly for folks who want to see it. Email me (wanderingaramean {near} millerworks.net) and I'll forward it to you.

Grrr, that sucks.

Makes me wonder what to do with my 3 GEG runs coming up. At this point I don't need lounge access thanks to the Pplus card and CO has had decent *A redemptions.

ALCO your thoughts?

Document you forwarded to me last weekend has found several homes. Let's hope something positive comes out of it.

the problem with 2nd graders is that they hug each other a lot, and sit close to each on the mat during story time; their heads often touch and therefore transference is relatively easy.

it's just such a pain to deal with. :(

No need to blush! Now, if we were in the UK, I have some very handsome gay friends over there that would be perfect.

?



Now, I wish I'd credited CO for my GEG run last weekend instead of BMI. So, I should still go for gold with BMI to at least have it for another year, and have some miles to use on a flight somewhere, right?

I'd like to burn off my BD account pretty quickly, but I'm 6,514 BD miles short of 75k (2x C cash + miles redemption to Europe). :rolleyes:

Any idea what I'd have to give up in CC to make up the difference?

Congratulations. ^

While you were claiming this milestone, I was picking up my son from school. The weather here is crazy.....we had a tornado warning south of us, by Morgan Hill/San Jose.

I think as a prerequisite they would need to hold elite status with a :-:A carrier. :-:Gold or higher. :p
Also would they be open to MR’s (ex: EWR-SFO-EWR-IAH-PTY-LIM jaunts?) How do they feel about hotel hopping? These are all valid questions any FT’er should ask before sealing the deal.

but, as far as I know, they are in relationships, so probably wouldn't work anyway!!!

Well, I checked the relevant thread in teh BD Forum yesterday, and it looks like the no mixed-class awards may be a fluke (poor training of ICC agents).

However, highest-class-of-service does now control, even for segments with domestic F. For the purposes of BD, though, CO Domestic F is considered a C product (as is AC). Most UA/US domestic F is considered F, with the exception of PS C, 3-Cabin Domestic C, and certain trunk routes where UA/US create award availability in C for certain 2-cabin domestic F routes.

What's your favorite month? That could be yours and I see you standing behind a steel girder guiding it into place. With a cute yellow construction hat on. Oh and wearing those tan work boots. ^
