The Cat's Reduced 1K Mileage Run
Well I decided that it might be worth it after all to do a United reduced 1K mileage run.
SO I'm doing it in Mid December (11-17.) Details to be announced in a trip report when it's over. With those miles, I will make reduced 1K at 84,000 miles by a measley 59 miles. So send positive cat vibes that ALL of my UA flights in the coming weeks are NOT CANCELLED: one cancellation and it's over! I won't be as important as the rest of you 1K's but I'll have a card I can pass on to my kids (since I doubt I'll ever get that close again!) |
Good luck Catman.
May the SWUs smile upon you. |
go Cat go... I am sooooooo jealous. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

A feat fit for the Catman. Please spare no details in your trip report. Its all in a meow. Have fun.
------------------ I fly therefore I am! |
Even if one of your flights get cancelled, you can still mail in a copy to M+ and get credit.
Once credited, the mileage will count towards your 84k and you'll also get credit for the airline UA re-booked you on. No need to worry! |
I had a feeling you would give-in to the temptation of this one...glad you did. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
I'm sure you'll find the flying even better for you next year. |
Hey Catman what a smart Cat Move!!! Good luck and enjoy!

I can't believe that you're buying into certain peoples' inflated sense of ego by equating FF status with importance. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif Besides, it's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice! |
Meow..
Go... kick Odies out of the F seat and pull Jon's sock to the nose of UA plane! ...and use the 1K card to cut the steak! <Garfield of HK-Umich) |
Have fun, Catman. If you're travels take you through ORD, SFO/OAK, LAS or BOS, let me know as I might be in one or more of those places during that time frame.

Have fun Catman -- although the weather makes December hardly the best month to visit Switzerland (unless you ski).
You might want to check out the Swiss Rail Flexi-Pass, so you can take some nice train trips to the French, Italian and Romansch parts of the country. http://www.sbb.ch/pv/sts_e.htm |
Say Hi to Rudi and Gisela for me and have a great trip. I'll see you in March, oh yea I still have that Cuban waiting for you in March. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif
