Yes or no?
Does it make a difference if one sells miles or keeps em?
Also a q for applying, recon, etc?

Technically it's davar ha'aved, but do you really need those few extra $$/miles?

Its definitely that especially if you find a location that will not give you trouble doing it (i.e. Target outside DDF concentrated area)
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Basically the question is based on somebody who just got a platinum with $20k spend for 150k mr. He is going away for Pesach to a non-DDF-dense area.

Had the same Q, was considering posting, but figured the answer is ask LOR so I didn't post...
Before getting into Davar Haavud, it isn't even work, is it?
When I (hypothetically speaking) have a conversation with someone who has no shaychus to MS, I'd say, "I do these things"
Does things=work?

IMHO MS is not work. Some mornings DW and I MS together and it is rather enjoyable spending time together.
I just found a new supply of forks!

That's not a proof, Chaim. You could have just as well said, "Some mornings, my wife and I weave tapestries together and it is rather enjoyable spending time together." It's still "work" vis a vis shabbos and yom tov.

How would you explain MS to someone who won't understand MS... I'd use errands or things... Ex. I gotta go do some things, or I can come over in an hour, I have a few errands to run...

For the record MS does seem like work at times.

What about reading a book, is that work? Does work have to be physical in nature?

How about watching TV?

Many books would be an issue to be read on Shabbos. It is forbidden to talk on Shabbos the way we talk during the week. Try Google ודבר דבר although that might not work.
