stripper in MIA? shocking

ericdabbs

but paper $20s...sheesh such high roller clients down there. Most strippers would be having a wad of $1s.

I'm surprised they are $20s TBH, woulda expected $100 billz... unless ADK is in the ghetto part of MIA aka real Miami or like the Virginia Gardens/Miami Springs area around the airport

OTOH, she could also be a mule/burner with all that drug money in MIA. females are less likely to be suspected/questioned/asked to report info on any given forms at the stores and maybe even banks compared to single males in their 20s.

Not a stripper as the bills looked pretty new. She looked more MLworthy like she does this alot.

For almost 2 years now, it's been about 40k/month in MS, which has translated into over 4 million miles/points in the past 12 months, including CC sign up bonuses. The unique thing about my situation is that I'm able to supplement my US haul with a pretty significant haul from Canada.

At a Publix stacks of $100s might attract attention. The larger stuff is better for real estate deals or for empty businesses around here that have no traffic, but tons of transactions on their books.

I would suspect drug money.

And no, I do not live in real Miami. I live out by the bushes.

hold up, I thought they use the same credit bureaus north of the border as well... do they not share databases of HPs?

or are you allotted a fresh/unrestricted set of credit INQ just because of dual citizenship?

Not that I would know, but I would assume you have a different identifier that you are applying under.

IF anyone is doing any filling in on this one, I'd appreciate getting topped off on that knowledge too, as it's not apparent to me what they were referring to.

Canada uses their version of the major bureaus down here. But they are separate, kind of like cousins, not siblings. Obviously, u have to have a legit SIN and residence in Canada to double dip this way. And the HPs are completely separate b/w the countries.

Suppose you have all 40k/month on 5 miles/$, it is about 2.4 million miles/per year. To get the rest of 1.6 millions from signon bonus, say 100k per CC, that is about 16 CC in a year, 4 CC per 3-month... Wow... I just couldn't come close to that number. Do you have any other hidden treasure

You always hear stories about this but I figured it was just BS.

My wife is also in on the hobby... And she too has an SIN, so she double dips in the Great White North with me!

QL_714

...so is my husband.

It has gotten more difficult to wager through FT recently. So many more basic questions being asked over and over, and so many sky is falling posts. Maybe it's also partly due to me getting my system in place and ramping it up somewhat - and for that I am forever grateful to this Forum, and those that help keep it fresh and evolving.

This thread is very helpful. Reading about ADK and Maksimfa - thank you both for your continued contributions! - challenges me to fine-tune my approach, and to get out there and search for new avenues.

I seem to be running at about 3 to 4 points or cents per dollar over about 35k spend month with a mix of cards and avenues to spend/liquidate. I can up the spend, though since I am only in 2nd quarter at this level (and 8 months overall in this hobby), I will spend at least a few more months "training" my bankers both on the buy and well side.

I am truly impressed with those that claim higher overall results per dollar spent. Outside of the current windfall with AGCs, and the 5% cards, both of which I mix in, I am stumped.
