LOL.
It's actually coming together nicely now that I spent some time on it today.
Back up to 132 slides now.

5 towns had 164 slides.

Sounds good. it's about quality and longevity, not quantity. B'hatzlacha.

Ppl that drop big money in general can gain tons from knowing the ins and outs of the system. Maybe they won't be busy churning but it saves them big money when they know how to use the system
That's not necessarily true for a few reasons:
1) Big spenders, in addition to MS, may have large personal and business recurring expenses that they are more than happy to leverage into premium travel experiences with the right credit card offers and spending categories

2) Even "free" premium travel costs real dollars, either in the form of add-ons in places that are intrinsically expensive (such as the Maldives) or the loss you take by not using the miles for essential travel in Y.

3) There are plenty of "rich" people who, for whatever reason, would not spend real dollars on premium cabin travel, but will do so with miles (sometimes through purchasing the miles at a cost greater than coach, but still less than regular cost of J)

4) The young families at Pesach programs on their grandparents'/parents' tab are not always in the same class.

So, any DDFers going to be in Whistler?
I think Lechatchila Ariber asked about it. I'm not sure if he'll be there in the end.
