Mint dollar program making the news
 

Just noticed this too when checking my yahoo emails.

What's more, on Yahoo.com's main page it's currently the top story out of 44.

LOL

MarathonMan is going to flip...

What a shame ...

Wow, so any guesses as to what the new policy will be regarding purchases?

The articles says that the IRS doesn't consider it a cash advance for tax purposes.

...? How dumb are some of these writers?

Cash advances are a credit card concept, not a tax concept. A cash advance isn't to the best of my knowledge taxable and I'm not aware of IRS rulings regarding what is and isn't a cash advance.

Oh, and he wants us to know it is not a crime ... yet. How exactly is it going to be a crime, ever. I guess that sounds more sensational than the Mint might stop accepting credit cards for dollar coin purchases.

Was just about to post the article on here.

MUST let the "travel hackers" know we've made news!

GOOD HEAVENS! People are actually using the system to their advantage?!? How dare they?! Those evil "hackers"!

I guess it is a slow news day or something.

The Mint has no one to blame but Congress.

Flip? He had a phone conversation with the media about the topic... Only thing I can see him wanting to flip about is name not being mentioned in the article :td:

Already discussed in the currently closed COIN thread here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/miles...-shipping.html
