miles for events?
 

Ciao - just wondering if anyone knows of someone drowning in miles who would be interested in helping me get my family from the US to Italy for my wedding. It's a huge financial burden for us.

Thanks for any info!

Any bets as to how long this thread lasts?

Is this a joke?? Does she realize asking for points is like begging for money from strangers?? People have qualms about giving these to their own blood relatives.

Rachel- why don't you start by asking someone you may actually know??

Make a smaller wedding and pay for your family to come from Italy.

Ft isn't a charity board, and if it were, there are legitimate charities to donate miles to.

as the saying goes the only question not asked is the stupid one>>??<<

I gotta give you credit on actually posting this question to total strangers.

An above poster is absolutely correct, why not ask for money.

Just a tip, dont bite off more than you can chew....

good luck to you on obtaining miles & your wedding.

This guy at least tried something innovative

Not sure if it worked ;)

Miles
 

Currently, I have about 200,000, but i want 300,000. Will someone give me 100,000 miles? HAHAHA!!!

I wouldn't fly some of my relatives to some of my special events, now why would I help out someone I don't know. :eek:

I'm not drowning in miles but I'm drowning in money. How 'bout I just pay for the entire wedding plus the airfare to fly everyone and anyone you know to Italy?

can i go too???

Sure - the more, the merrier! :D

I agree

If every FTer would just give me $100, I could take a year off and do nothing. Please help me realize my dream. Thank you!

I don't think this poster realizes who they're dealing with here. A lot of us would do anything to get miles and to think we'd just give them away. Ha! Best of luck on your marriage.

How about an elopement?
