You are also lessening the cents/mile ratio by buying a drink at a pharmacy.
but at least you get a drink out of it

Refunded an AA ticket.
I plan to make spend either way so: "bring it"!
Am I missing something? What is wrong with a AA refundable ticket?

Will citi look badly at a few dozen charges for 504.96 on my new card?
I can verify everything that i wrote on my application.

I'm sure that this has been discussed, but wouldnt the GC issuers be the biggest losers in this game?

AA has been shutting down many people for doing refundable tickets.

my brother came for a visit, I wasnt here, the mail arrived, he sees a 2 envelopes with his name, one is a new SPG card, the other a $200 visa gift card...he goes back to his home (an hour away) with both  :o I call him and ask, Did you sign up for a new CC? did you purchase a $200 visa GC?? (this was after multiple emails to multiple family members saying, If anything arrives with your name it's really mine, particularly gift cards)

You sign up for cc's in another person's name without them even knowing about it? :o   Tell me it was an AU card.

Hate to post in this thread, but...
Just closed SW and only after CSR closed it did I remember to ask to transfer to CL. Too late :(
Luckily, I had lowered it at some point to just 2500, but whoops nonetheless.

(At least I made sure not to close it till I got my 6K.)

They can reopen it, move the line, and reclose it.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
