Do you have this addiction? Don't worry because quitting is easy I've done it hundreds of times.

How about this one? (I didn't see it posted but perhaps it's in another thread.) You know you're addicted when you have memorized most of your airline and hotel program account numbers. </font>
I have other people's account numbers memorized so I can enter them for their flights when I do their bookings. They even call me to ask what their account number is for a certain program.

gleff that was hilareous

And I wonder why I dont' get any work done.

Worst part was that I qualify, as I am sure many here do, for just about everything people said.

Sadly, it would also appear that I need to attend the FAA (hey that matches with something else as well )

Yes to more of those than I'll admit in public.

The funny thing is if you value all these bonus miles at .02 or so, many people are probably working for minimum wage flying around on airplanes for no reason all day. You'd make more money working than making mileage runs, unless of course you're the pilot.

You should have seen me when I couln't get into OMNI! I had the sweaty palms and depression. Thank God Randy brought it back when he did. I was about to seek out a shrink. </font>
Perhaps a shrink located in a city 5 segments away from your own?

Hi, yes, I am a Mileage Junkie...

Almost all of the above applies to me, plus I just spent hours on the phone with a UA agent working through a complicated intl itinerary that includes 2 overnight layovers... just to avoid having to fly intl on an airline on which I have no status and on which the miles won't do me any good. (If any - they're not partners with ANYone! yuck)

And last week, a friend of mine was saying she wouldn't want to be in a relationship with a guy who lived across country, and I immediately said I would LOVE to meet a man from far away - think of the MILES we would earn visiting each other!!! Think of it - go on dates, get miles! What could be better than that?!?!? She thinks I'm out of my mind...

Maybe I really do need help...

HEY MAN I DONT HAVE NO PROBLEM! I can quit anytime I want! </font>
ME TOO! and I'm going to just as soon as I complete this AS 35 leg promo for 100,000 bonus miles.

Anyone know of a great deal for bonus miles for switching long distance carriers? Switching from Sprint so can't use them.
Also can I get a tax deduction for donating those cereal boxes with the AA coupons cut off of them to the food bank?
Does anyone want me to do their grocery shopping for them at Safeway?
I can quit I'm just trying to get enough miles for an around the world trip and then I will.
