Where would I be able to pull off something like that though without paying $$$ for a room?

I'm sure we can figure something out. Any idea how many people we'd be talking about?

Meh, I say lock 'em out if they have been active on the forum (got the PM) and don't attempt to make payment arrangements by the deadline. I wouldn't be opposed to a more intimate DO...

I think you scared some people, a torrent of payments arrived today

Updated tally:

Amazon Payments: 3
Chase QuickPay: 2
Paypal:3

Total paid: 8 (Not including Dan & myself, rest assured I'll be giving Dan $25 for myself as well)
Outstanding payments: 5

Why is it that it tends to be men that are generally the mileage addicts?

When it comes to clipping coupons and things of that nature it tends to be women. And most women love a nice vacation. So why aren't they more involved in the mileage game?

Or is it that more men handle the finances still and much of the mileage game has to do with the financial?

Still 4 unpaid participants, I'm going to send out another PM, see where they're at...

@chaikel: she was from NY, duno if we are talking about the same.

Coupons, I believe are close related to shopping, which is the woman sector.

Mileage has also the whole wallet candy/status matzav which is more a man thing.

I would assume all the ins and outs of the programs are more gemaraish than coupons.

That's what I thought too until a little while ago. You wouldn't believe the depth of the whole coupon shitck. My friend's wife has getting all her groceries for free down to a science. She's got closets full of stuff she gets for free. The strategies she uses are pretty neat. I've told her she ought to put her mind into miles!

Two more DO cancellations, seems like we're already below LM's 15-person group threshold. Two confirmed attendees still MIA.
