I've been thinking about getting some kind of air miles card. We don't spend $19,000/year on a credit card (rent's our biggest expense and we can't put it on the card), but I'm wondering if we had such a card, would it have any special treatment for card holders who may need to move dates, for example, if another invitation for an interview came up? Would it be worth it to switch from the card that we have, that give us a check in the mail for 3% of nearly all our purchases?Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089088086111606111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-78960032925263982252010-03-10T17:16:45.415-08:002010-03-10T17:16:45.415-08:00Carole, thank you.

Also, do you have reserved seats, or do you fly "stand-by"?Packrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986387347283221427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7237510488098484827.post-72626515685539278282010-03-10T08:46:47.350-08:002010-03-10T08:46:47.350-08:00We have this credit card for our personal use.
