Create one! Im in a few email threads myself and a couple forums too. In the end they get too big and the same thing happens

The only real way to do all this ms stuff is to hit it hard while it lives. Get with a few like minded folk and converse with them about deals and tips, sharing ideas and issues. Then use ft as a place to blast people and steal tips people stupidly let out so you can exploit them while those people are foddling and doddling about.

you are not a rebel. I would suggest the exact same thing.

Mileageupdate has one link that pays the site owners something for apps. it is to the arrival card. All the other links are just ones to cards many MSers use and it is a good place to find those links. Other than this post right here, I dont think any of us have ever even mentioned this.

I was asked to write for them because I know them personally and have known them for 15 years. And I babble anyway so it may as well be put in one place where the crap I write about could be of use. Some of it's half good stuff if you ever happen to be constipated and thus have the time to be sitting there reading it. Otherwise, I suggest you ignore or avoid it.

I personally use links from the CC site itself unless some insane deal comes up and even then I may only use blog sites to find the offer and then go to the cc itself to get it there. I recommend this to everybody since you never really know--what, with all this ID theft out there these days--where your click through is going! best to stay with the CC company.

And now, back to the music:

THE BEATLES LYRICS

"Yesterday"

Yesterday, all my GC/MO troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though those Walmart updates are here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, I'm not half the marathon man I used to be
There's a big Amex bill hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Why GCs had to go I don't know Bancorp wouldn't say
I swiped something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, miles & points was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide my new haunts away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Why Incomm had to go I don't know the CSR wouldn't say
I got FRd and that's something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, cash back was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to fly with all my miles away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm

Classic MS Rock?

...I look at Walmart and I notice it's turning
While my gift card gently weeps
With every Bluebird we must surely be learning
Still my gift card gently weeps...

I'm dreaming of a new Gift Card
Just like the one we used to know
Where the easy points glisten
and MSers listen
To hear to which CVS they should go

I'm dreaming of a new Gift Card
With every Credit card applied
May your days be reloadable and bright
And may all your Vanillas be white

I don't know why no blog has told you
How to unwrap your cards
I don't know how someone in FT controlled you
They bought and sold GCs for you

Actually I have a great relationship with them - me not liking you has nothing to do with me not liking other people - I'm not the only one that doesn't like you but it's cool.

Let's have some more music

i dont think it matters if you like me or not. Besides I dont even know you. You have been here 300+ times. You have not done as much as other members who have been here a lot longer. But being nice on these threads is a bit important to me and to others.

As for music, why dont YOU make a song? We are all waiting. Keep the thread on topic and come up with one on your own.

Mic's open...

Kingrat this thread is for ms songs not your rants. Please stay on topic and either post a song here or go elsewhere to yap.
FT ers may notify the mod of your taking up airtime. Now for one last time, mic is open. Make a song.

I know. Jeff might even have to get a real job at this rate. Wal-Mart greeter seems appropriate given everything.

THE BEATLES LYRICS

"Eleanor Rigby"

Ah, look at all the lonely FT people
Ah, look at all the lonely FT people

Eleanor Rigby picks up the packets in the store where the heavy MSing has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the CS window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

All the lonely FT people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely FT people
Where do they all belong?

Manager McKenzie writing the words of a GC policy that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his rules in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

All the lonely FT people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely FT people
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely FT people
Ah, look at all the lonely FT people

Eleanor Rigby got fired from her job as a clerk and was replaced along with her name
No new clerk came
Manager McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he prints out MOs for Aloha Dave
No receipt was saved

All the lonely FT people (Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely FT people (Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?
