MS mistakes.
While learning MS techniques I seem to make as many mistakes as possible.
Today I was in an OSS that had coveted GCs.
$200 Visa GCs that I've never actually seen on the rack in an OSS.
I went wild (for me) and bought two and some Petco and Groupon GCs for good measure.
I thought to myself, prematurely, Wow, that'll be like 2500 FF miles!
Visions of the Bahamas occupied me at the cash register.
A few hours later I realized I had used the wrong CC because it was the same color (blue) as the right CC.
Oops!
FF miles earned will be 1x spend instead of 5x spend
What mistakes did you make as a noob MSer?
Want to know so I can laugh and avoid them.

No mistakes.
Because in this game making mistakes costs money.
There are blogs and other forums for the spoon feeding.

In the days of buying VR at CVS I was using a car key instead of a coin to scrape off the stuff that obscures the PIN and scraped off enough of the PIN that I couldn't read it! Eventually I was able to get them to give me the code but I had to fax in my DL and other info first which was a pain.
I had a VGC slip out of my pocket and into the couch I was sitting on but luckily one small corner was peeking out. I would probably haven't ever known where I lost it!

It took about 4 days to resolve which I thought was pretty quick. Don't wait to call!
