I would be very interested in joining you, but I am getting along in years and after doing so would need time to recuperate before repeating with another lovely lady.

I'm currently planning to be primarily PriorityClub (really) for the rest of the year given the Crack the Case promo combined with their version of FFN starting 20 September, so those points are a possibility ... My current calculation is earning more than 2.5 award nights per paid night under those combined promos and I'm on the cusp of platinum status.

Glad I could help.

My CtC offer was pretty tempting: 10/2/2/CC/survey (4 of 5 for 145+)
Right now I'm trying to figure out if the Saturday night booked for the ORD Seminar Do via HI, but staying at the overflow hotel will count.

We're staying in two of the MEM hotels this weekend for Labor Day but it's only one night / one brand - the Saturday is a PointsBreak hotel instead of a revenue stay. Given the time left in the promo, I figured I would pick up half my stays with the ATL DO if I don't have to give the speech in ABQ.

Sorry, 63,000 is not the number of how many MQMs Dovster will get for his upcoming award itinerary after they are quadrupled?

Now that I knew it was a trick question, I don't want to bother with it.

My grandfather is dead.

I was saying 63,000th post in the Lounge™.

This would happen...

Good day not to be there...

That's embarrasing. I have much more than that. 24,162 to be exact.

By the time you get around to using them in a couple weeks, 815K might not get you a domestic RT ... in coach.

Nor do I believe she would appreciate speaking like that to her courtesan.

Seemed to have been targeted toward the "Luckiest Loser" Hilton challenge folks.

She does have a boyfriend. The word that Vuelos used to describe you says a lot, which is what I meant. Look it up on dictionary.com if you don't know the meaning already. I wouldn't be surprised...

If I didn't know what it meant I would not have replied that I am a freebie.
