How Many Credit Cards Do You Have?

[steve dave]

I let 40k United miles expire a month ago and now just booked a United flight.   I'm not cut out for this whole airline miles thing. 

I'd love to punch you in the face

That is the most vile thing anyone has ever said to me.    x2

I should have said it harder because I'm really warming up my puncher right now and it's actually gaining punch instead of lessening the longer I think about this.

Will you call them for me and tell them I was just joking when I let those miles expire and they should give them back and refund the purchase on my southwest card (lolface) for the ticket I just bought (to Nicaragua btw ).

no, but:

United: Miles in United's MileagePlus program expire after 18 months of inactivity. Miles may be reinstated within 18 months following expiration for $50-$400, depending on the amount of miles reactivated.

call them immediately and point out the recent ticket you purchased (they don't care at all what credit card you used to buy it, those cards have nothing to do with the airline other than the bank buys a bunch of miles from them)

40k United is worth about $800 for a normal non complete dumbass american so use that to determine what it would cost to reinstate them.

$5k in 6 months is doable with Amazon Payments alone....even faster if you have a CVS around you...

They just started taking reservations for late August. If you stay there you will be one of the very first people to stay at the new most elite NYC hotel.
