Not sure if this goes in this thread but it's awesome - http://gizmodo.com/how-an-engineer-earned-1-25-million-air-miles-by-buying-1339646546?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=linkedin#


yeah, that's been discussed on here a lot. there is a better one where a guy discovered a super cheap flight somewhere in asia that earned more mile value than the cost by a pretty substantial margin (mileage run) and he hired 4 or so old people people to just fly that flight round trip every day using his account number every day for a long time and he earned millions of miles. you can't normally do that but he found loopholes that have now been closed. anyway, the CIA or FBI or something brought him in because they thought he was ferrying drug mules around and when he told them what he was doing they wanted him to set that up for them. really lol and genius. a lot of this stuff isn't possible anymore because everyone is looking for any gap in the armor.

Sapphire Preferred now offering a 5k referral bonus. So, like, anyone who was going to get this card at some point should tell me and I will refer them. Send me a PM if so. you will get the same sign up bonus and everything  :D

i was going to refer some friends but it looks like they would only get a 10k bonus.

eceive up to 50,000 bonus points for referring your friends.1 Fill out the names and email addresses of your friends and family before January 31, 2014. You can also refer people from your online networks via Facebook and Twitter.

Seems like more of a Rams type gig. He'd have you driving to every walmart and drug store in the state to take pictures of vanilla reload cards with the poors of the points game.

well i'm not doing that. maybe we still tell darius that we'll take the gig though but then just have rams do all the stuff that we aren't willing to in exchange for board cred and a six month subscrition to premium?  :dunno:

so i've thought about this some more and decided that having to manage rams would be infuriating. saul, go ahead and punch this ticket as closed and let's put this baby to bed. we gave it a shot and it didn't work out. nothing wrong with that.

I am going to empty out my RR account before then I guess.  BOGO with the companion pass?  Don't mind if I do.

i still have some southwest points, but this doesn't seem like that big of a deal. 7 instead of 6. um, ok. maybe rams can break it down further for me on millionmilesecrets next week though and i'll reconsider.

i'm applying for an ink plus. my questions:

business name - bubbles' financial consulting?
business address - home?
tax id - SSN?
type - sole proprietor?

I applied for this card on 9/14 and received the card today. I put my name as the business, my home address for the business address, and sole proprietor as business type. I even put $0 for my annual business revenue/sales. That tells me they really don't give a crap about the business information.

yeah, that and pointhound run constant bonuses like this. both are decent. pointshound will allow you to get your elite status benefits and stuff too at some properties. not sure if rocketmiles does as well or not.
