You didn't have rollover from 2009?

Search on Mc or Visa. I'll see what I can find. I did it on their site, not amex's.

When does the 2010 status year end? You might not need to get the 75 in 2010, correct (e.g. 65 in 2010 and 15 in early 2011)?

For those under the old naming schema:
Samoas -> Caramel DeLites
Do-Si-Dos -> Peanut Butter Sandwiches
Tagalongs -> Peanut Butter Patties
Trefoils -> Shortbreads

Why, pray tell, do you know this?

I've never had issues in foreign cities, but Amex always gets confused when I try and make a purchase at home and they do the fraud flag. I'm glad they look for things, but wouldn't it be one of those days when I'm hopping around 3 Asian cities in a day?

Marriott is calendar year, but there is a sooper seekrat rolling elite qualification window so you can really get it any time.

Good evening, box. It's good to be home. Even managed to stand by on earlier flights. Monday it starts all over again, MAF-IAH-OMA. Woo.

BL, I'd be in for some of BLJr's cookies if ya'll are taking orders from here. And I won't even punish her with the MR out here to MAF. :D

yum yum

I want 3 Peanut Butter Patties 3 thin mints 2 caramel delights, and 1 lemonade :)

Do I need to PM this to you? :D I will pay on Superbowl weekend, if that is ok.

icurhere2 is so scholarly in many things that it just wouldn't surprise me if he consulted on something involved with cooking making, heh.
