i received my first airline frequent flyer mile-tied in credit card in the mail today! if only i had received it yesterday! if only i had waited to book my vacation! last night we purchased our airline tickets online, damn! if i had put that on my new card, i would have spent enough to earn a nice chunk of bonus miles. i'm not sure how much of my trip i can put on the card as i'm not sure who will take credit cards but i'll just have to put everyday groceries and such spending on the card and pay the bill right away as to not incur interest charges. maybe it will be enough to help earn those introductory bonus miles. i'm also crossing my fingers that by getting this card i did it just in time to create activity before i lose my miles i accrued three years ago due to inactivity. anyway, it's sweet to dream of one day taking a trip that i paid for with the frequent flyer mile program.
