Dude this has been around for awhile, probably before you signed up for you first mileage card.  My first one was in 06 or 07 maybe it was 08 with the BA 100k :) It's been a hell of a ride since then.

If I had a buck for every time someone emails me this story...

The first million miles I made wasn't with credit cards, didn't cost anything, and didn't require lifting a finger or buying anything.

I just don't kiss and tell.

We're not curious

it would be interesting for me and most of your fellow DDFers to read. That's all.

Not a reason good enough? The same purpose of writing trip reports.

Not at all the first, quite famous, and not deserving of a new thread, certainly not in GD.

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I believe Zman did an article on him a long time ago (probably in their first year).
