Man getting those airmiles are harder than I thought! I am up to about 80,000 which is only 20k more than my last post over 2 years ago! part of the trouble is that I keep getting bumped off my People to People delegations because the economy sucks and our delegates cant afford to go and they drop. When that happens, leaders get dropped cause there arent enough delegates to justify the extra leaders. I totally understand it, but it makes racking up air miles a LOT harder. I switched cell phone providers, joined survey panels, joined dining clubs that give airmiles for eating at certain places….Now i am strongly considering changing banks so I can get a Continental Airlines debit card. I would get 21000 miles just for opening the account and having my paycheck directly deposited into it, plus every time I would use the debit card I would earn miles. Anyone out there using an airline debit card? About how many miles can you rack up in a year? My biggest fear is that Continental will change its airmiles plan and the round the world ticket will suddenly be way more expensive or all my airmiles will expire before I can rack up enough….and I am SORELY tempted to use my miles to go to Thailand this summer. Indecision is an awful thing.
