Can you fly me now?

Today I received and email from Bose pitching their new Bluetooth headset thing.  Watch a video and take a short one question quiz and get 150 AA miles, the miles gods are looking favorably upon me.  If you go to an in store demo/sale pitch you can get a certificate for another 250 miles.  The last time a Bose offer came out I did the pitch in the airport and found it a little high pressure for my liking.  There is zero chance of me getting a headset so I may hit up the MSP kiosk next week for some more free miles.  If you are not flying by 1/17, there is a store in the MOA which should also offer the certs. 

Mt cousin's sister's barber also graced me with another MCR code today.  Total 2011 YTD haul is 3,200 PCR, 150 AA.   I think a reasonable goal for the end of the year will be 125,000 miles/points from any source.

Happy New (Qualification) Year!

The miles and points counter all rolled back to zero yesterday.  I went bug-eyed when I saw my Continental account and briefly thought I lost all my miles.  Fortunately I was just not looking in the right place, they are all safe and sound.

I was also proactive in removing the zero on my Priority Club account, I stashed away a MyCokeRewards code early this year with the intent of entering it on January 1 when it mattered.  I also redeemed some E-Rewards cash I had been building up waiting for the new year.  Without leaving home I have racked up 2,700 Priority Club points on the first day of 2011.  That is one third of the way to a free night at Holiday Inn.

I take to the skies California bound for the first time this year on January 13, same date as last year.  This year I don't have a wedding and bachelor party to attend so I am not going to duplicate the "10,000 miles of January" I did last year.  Unfortunately, that means I am going to present for more of Minnesota winter but will not be tired to the point of sleeping through any takeoffs.
