MrMeanGreen Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Looks like I travel more than you do. At least you're home more, and you know your schedule ahead of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GMoney Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 You travel more than me but im gone for longer periods. In the last 10 months I have only been home for 3 months. I was in Austria for 7 weeks home 2 weeks then off to India. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant, do you travel INTL? Who do you fly with? No, I'm domestic. I usually fly with US Airways, American, or Northwest. I hit some pretty out of the way places, so most of my travel is fly into a major hub and drive 1-3 hours to BFE. Most of my sites I only know 1-2 weeks in advance.

Mensan Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Amateurs. I think I have spent more time traveling than anyone on this board. For example: In 2005 I made Chairman Preferred on US Airways (100+ segments in one year) and I ALSO made Gold status on Northwest Airlines (40+ segments per year). I was platinum with Holiday Inn (have been for going on 7 years) and Presidents Circle with Hertz rentals. That was my busiest year though. I have more memberships, but those are the ones I use the most. For the last 2 years, I spend most of my time in OH. As I write this, I am installing a system in a Home Depot in Wichita, KS. I still drive my car 30-35,000 miles per year on jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty2Hotty Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 I dig the money and the travel. Atleast for the next 1.5 years... I'll trade you jobs. Oh if you go to DFW, please drive on down 83 I believe, or just take 35 N, I'll guide you from there. Ring door bell, say hi, kick ex-GF in shin, grab her hair and smack her face against door, then run. That would make me happy If you get out, check out the Bass Pro Shop, I love that place. Addison's nice to get some grub and brew, a place called the flying saucer is where I used to get sauced everyday/night/morning etc..

Mallard Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 I don't travel as frequent, but I may be away from home just as much. I'm Diamond VIP with Hilton (signed up in Dec, got to that status by mid-March) and Platinum with Holiday Inn. Also, all my travel expenses for work go on my personal credit card and I get reimbursed, so Capital One loves me too. I have an over abundance of points. I don't have too many airline miles since most of my work is driving (and I missed out on the New Zealand trip this year). Since we're testing cars when we travel I don't get rental cars.

black00ws6 Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 I travel for vacations only.. Usually once a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supplicium Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 I love traveling and I am actually looking for your type of job next year after I graduate. My plan is to find a high paying job with tons of travel for the next 2 years then start settling down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stay at Hampton Inns i have no idea how many points i have with them currently, last time i used a free night i had 300,000 and one free night is normally 30K to 40K. I normally sell of my flight miles to friends. My credit card companies have to hate me, i never pay any interest and normally get a $100 cash back about every other month.

Mensan Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Just Gold for NWA? Every year for the last three i have made Platinum. NWA was my secondary airline. I used US Air primarily. On US I was chairman for 5 years in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
