August 5, 201214 yr Active Members I wanted to book a trip to Chicago to see a play, but it turned out that all of the non-stop flights cost 50,000 miles. So I though maybe it wasn't worth it. The cost to fly was $314. But, if I added that to the cost of hotels, etc, it made the trip not so worth it. So I stewed about it all day. Then I remembered that I had an AAdvantage credit card that rewarded "Thank You" points which were the equivalent of miles, so I checked to see what that would do for me. Bingo. I not only got the non-stop flights, I got them for 23,500 miles and no $10.00 fee. I had a few points left in the account, so I booked a rental car that cost me nothing in money, and the points I used would not have been enough to use on a flight so would have been wasted. Then I went to book the play, and found that they had set back one week the sale of individual tickets. Only subscribers could buy now. I wrote the box office to ask why they did that, and explained that I had plans to make. They wrote back and gave me a code I could use to buy my ticket now! So, yes, a little work, but I got what I wanted at less cost than I was willing to pay. I realize that you might not care, but I had to tell someone!
August 5, 201214 yr Congrats. Too often I don't take time to do the legwork to get the best price on things. I am now officially starting compiling my list of potential new year's resolutions. LOL.
August 5, 201214 yr Lucky you are so clever... What a great husband you will make... I think you will be so organized and neat...
August 5, 201214 yr What a great husband you will make... You realize he already has a partner. Lucky guys!
August 5, 201214 yr Aww if there were no physical distance between you and I, we would be married in no time.. You will get your after work drinks and dinner. I will even do dishes... But you have to work hard so I can buy at least one pair of luxury shoes every month and on major holidays... You realize he already has a partner. Lucky guys!
August 5, 201214 yr no physical distance between you and I ??? Where are you these days? Approximately...
August 5, 201214 yr In one of the most crowded cities in the world. I can't believe a southern country lady has ended up in a big city far away from the US... I need a prince to come to my rescue but I'm no princess and that's the problem... I can still dream though... ??? Where are you these days? Approximately...
August 5, 201214 yr Lol if I were there then do you think I will leave you alone? I think hitoall is in Palm Desert!
August 5, 201214 yr In one of the most crowded cities in the world. I can't believe a southern country lady has ended up in a big city far away from the US... Ahh...playing hard to get, eh?
August 5, 201214 yr Active Members hitoallusa is in Beijing- that's my guess. I hope he doesn't pick up any bad habits.
