you can friend expedia on facebook and then click on a link and get $150 for a four night stay. some people are booking four nights at a cheap vegas hotel and pocketing the money. have to used mastercard or something though.

I must be Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) because I can only seem to like them on facebook but can't figure out how to add as a friend.

You like them.  They don't like you.

Yeah. You just have to like them. Not friend them. Sorry. Some guy has like five different mastercards and used them all with dif accounts and slightly dif addresses to book twenty dollar a night Vegas rooms that he won't show up for but will only total eighty for the for nights. He'll just pocket the seventy dollar difference times five. Three hundred and fifty dollars richer that guy is.

Wife and I completed the BA program for 100k each miles, now have 200k BA miles.  Any chance I can redeem some of these miles through AAdvantage for hotel stays and car rental?

hypothetical thing or whatever.  So, there's this:

http://boardingarea.com/blogs/viewfromthewing/2011/06/11/free-miles-on-your-choice-of-airlines/  

that I posted about before.  You get 1k frontier miles for signing up.  whatever, I already have a frontier account.  won't work for me.  but, the points transfer via points.com which is generally a huge ripoff because of how deep you have to discount your points.  does anyone use points.com?  can you transfer from one person's whatever account to another person's or do they have to all be in the same name?  because, here is the hypothetical part, what is stopping you from signing up with frontier under a thousand different fake names and then transferring all the points via points.com to the same priority club account or something?  probably can't do it for the same name reason I mentioned but whatevs.

It actually was a different guy. It seemed like a lot of work cause you could only do one per Facebook account so that would mean setting up more Facebook accounts. No thanks. Also SD, thoughts on being able to somewhat churn aa Citibank again? Everybody is saying that if you haven't had the card for a year or more that you can prob get. Currently can sign up for two did personal cards oj same day.75k each with 1500/6 month spend. Prob going to  do it. Thoughts?

did you see that the pointsguy quit his wallstreet job to do that blog full time?  didn't really get into what exactly he did but seemed to insinuate he made bank.  that guy is living the dream.  I'm considering quitting goEMAW to start goemawtravelblogaboutcreditcardsandpoints.net

Man. Great for him if true. Absolutely living the dream. Travel for free and occasionally update your points and credit card travel blog. Who would you rather be? Him or a decent looking actor that gets decent work? Let's say Jason Batman for arguments sake. Tough call for me. Prob the travel guy. Dunno.

Yeah. That looks ridiculously good. That's just a crapload of hyatt points. Also please post the other flyertalk link that you used. Also, how is Mrs SD with this? Mrs rd is now kind of starting to get slightly annoyed with all the cards and new cards and having to activate and cancel. So frustrating. Thoughts?

mrs. dave will rarely sign up.  she did the BA, SPG 30k and Hyatt 2 free nights but that is all over the last 4 years or so.  Here is the post.  Used the Amex-expired but works link (it's $4k spend to get 75k though I think).

That post I linked was just updated the 13th so all info should be current.  I'll have to spend $5,500 on the two cards total in 4 months which won't be a problem but will miss out on those 5500 SPG I could have otherwise had.

I thought I saw those links to be 1500 in spending for 6 months?

Amex one is listed as expired and not working right now.  Visa and Visa biz are both listed as still working.
