No, I hit exactly 75 nights. Not travelling for a few months did me in, but at least I made plat on MR and SPG, so no complaints. I did not renew my CX silver status, but oh, well.

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)?

Good point. Thanks for pointing that out!

And yes, $99.99 is "<$100." :rolleyes:

We must have better pricing here. I think it was $96.99, which is small consolation thanks to our insane sales tax.

If you don't need 4 handsets, you can get it on Amazon for $91, no tax, and just get 3 handsets.

Aside from the minor issue with my wife's phone, I've been happy for the 1 week we've had them. Audio quality is basically as good as talking directly on the cellphone.

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

She'd probably rather go to OMA provided it's the mainline flight of the day ;)

Free shipping!!! Thank you for your support. OMA is in for nasty weather Sun, so hope it's all good by Mon for you

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.

Excellent, thank you! No, it's on the order form. That is absolutely fine, thanks!

"My name is BL JR and I'm a girl scout. We're selling girl scout cookies; would you like to buy some.

These are the flavors:

Thin Mints
Shortbread (formerly trefoils)
Peanut Butter patties (formerly tagalongs)
Peanut butter sandwhich (formerly do si dos)
Lemonades (which are my favorite)
Caramel Delights (my best seller) [formerly Somoas]
Thanks a lot (shortbread and chocolate) [formerly All Abouts]
Daisy Go rounds (in 5 convenient 100 calorie packs) [formerly cinna-spins]

Thank you for ordering my Girl Scout cookies"

That's her spiel. :)

At least they didn't rename Thin Mints

:rolleyes:

*THAT* makes sense ;)

They do at least have it to call my cell if they are concerned about fraud (now if someone steals my card and cell, I'm in trouble) since places like Kroger just deny it instead of calling Amex.

Sadly, the cookies will not arrive until the 8th. I will see if any are getting in earlier for a tasting. Excellent pairing suggestions ^

When are orders due?

I was not directly addressing about you, i just think the renaming is :td:

Carmel delight for a samosa? i thought they just got rid of them, I'd never call them 'carmel delights'

I completely agree!!! I had a tough time figuring out what the heck all the names were. The names are way generic now :td:

If he's a lap cat he can't be bad.

Monday the 25th. I will say, though that there will be additional cookies when the order arrives in Feb.

One of our colleagues has already said that the official status year is calendar year - I just don't know when Marriott status expires.
