I went to the mail box today and got five (5!) credit card applications in the mail. Last week I recieved three (3!). Last month I recieved at least another five (5!) Citibank, Mastercard, Visa. They keep sending them to me for some reason. Since my first wife showed me what plastic money was made for I haven't had a credit card in almost 30 years, and have lived well enough without one, and really don't plan on getting one. I would think that the CC companies would take the hint and quit sending them, but eh...thats ok, I usually put their stuff back in the post paid envelope enclosed and send it back to them. After all, they may as well get rid of their own junk mail instead of me. But every once in a while I'll pull the "sample" cards, and give them to my nephew, who likes to cut them up and use them for guitar picks. He likes them because of the raised lettering,. He says he can grip them better than a standard pick. I wouldn't know because I'm a bass player and play finger-style only. I'm simply humored by whats in the mailbox daily..... I hope the weather is good tomorrow, cause I'm putting the boat on the muffs and cleaning it tonight.... I am reverse of you. I dont even know what cash feels like, since I use credit cards to pay for everything. This gives me many advantages, free gas, free travel, upgraded hotel rooms, etc. The key is to pay the off each month. I even buy all my food with the Visa. I'm getting a 1.5% rebate every month, which isn't great, but it's free money! exactly.. i have also started buying all my company's IT purchases on my credit card. Over $500,000 a year. Nice return, even at 1%. Do you own the company? $500K is a lot for a non-owner to spend on his personal credit card. I spend roughly $350K, but it's my company. I take the air miles. I have almost a million with United alone. Dan No, I am one of the officers at this company, and have some stock ownership, but less than 3%. They are just cool with it. |

How do you transfer them? Via written contract. I have roughly two million with just three airlines - about half are United. Got a link? The guy was out of Denver. We sold at maybe $.02/mile. I will see if I still have his card, but this was probably 10 years ago. Here are some current links: http://www.airline-awards.com/ http://www.ffdepot.com/ http://www.mrmileage.com/ http://www.awardtraveler.com/sell.asp http://www.sellyourpoints.com/ Google "sell airline miles" and you will find more. ;-) Thanks. I'll save this for the weekend! Dan |
