Rumor Has It
This is not a big financial loss. For the $28+-K they went down with the MegaDO, they covered that with the premium memberships they sold for $2K each. I feel bad for those folks that ponied up for the right to purchase a seat on an event that fell way short of a sell out. I wonder if they get anything back?

Very little movement in the last couple weeks:
1 sold in Tommy and 2 in E-.
But should even that slow pace keep up, it should be sold out by mid-October.

If you've ever been on a Star MegaDO, wanted to go on one or maybe just be in the market for a new piece of luggagethis message is for you.
Rimowa (one of the leading luggage brands in the world) and the MegaDO have partnered up to bring you an exclusive piece of luggage. This custom Rimowa Salsa Deluxe Cabin bag features a matte black finish and a MegaDO logo, both exclusive to the MegaDO and not available anywhere else. AND even better for doing good$200 of the purchase price is donated by Rimowa back to Milepoint Cares to help others. Milepoint Cares is the leading effort by road warriors/frequent flyers in charity support.
AND you can't buy it cheaper at eBags, Zappo's or Bloomingdale's.
This Rimowa Salsa Deluxe 21″ Cabin Multiwheel (spinner) is of particularly high quality made of extremely durable polycarbonatetough enough for most any MegaDO road warrior. It is 21.7″ high, 15.7″ wide and 7.9″ deep which means its a cabin piece of luggage that is going to stay with you on the plane (even most RJ's!), not in cargo. It has 8 ball bearing wheels which means you can do tricks with it when waiting for your flight to boardthats why they call these spinners. And, its got the latest TSA lock built in which means only one other person will see what you have in the luggage. And, its stageless telescopic handle can be adjusted to any height, so it doesnt matter who is driving this thing. And finally, it has the retractable add-a-bag holder which means you can look like a pilot when attaching another piece of luggage to drag along.

It would be helpful if the events were arranged from a Fri. to Sun. timeline. As mentioned in a previous post, the wknd. seminars don't require taking time off for work (for most).
I'm still on the fence as to whether to sign up and just miss some of the Toronto events. It's also disappointing that non-us citizens have to stay on the plane for the AMARC tour, but I understand that this restriction is something that the organizers can't change.

It's just a bit...odd...to get spam from Milepoint hawking luggage.
And if I were in the market for a new bag, I think I'd rather decide for myself what to do with the $200 rather than being required to 'donate' it to charity.
YMMV, of course.

The exact same bag retails for aprox 420$ in europe. By the LH Worldshop version and replace the LH logo with an icon of choice and you have the same bag with the option to donate the 200$ to your personal favourite charity.
