😀 Tom I just booked my my plane tickets for my brother's wedding in October. It's nice not having to pay for them. I used the miles I got as a sign-up bonus for a credit card. I think that's going to be my game plan for now on. I'll never have to pay for plane tickets again :-) (You can re-earn the bonus every two years. Do that with 2 cards, and that's a free round-trip flight each year. Flights to/from Hawaii cost more miles, otherwise I could get two round-trip flights per card per year.)

Mark Dain Nice! I was initially looking at just over PS1,000 for LHR to DFW until I managed to get that, with 2 other flights for the same price. Never got any bonus air miles, who are you flying with? I'm sure they'll close that loophole if it's abused. I know American Airlines used to have this scheme where you paid $250,000 for unlimited air miles and it was so abused they had to shut it down: en.wikipedia.org/w...

Martijn And here I am struggling to just get a fucking card, let alone a sign-up bonus...
