Hmmm, So You Want To Involuntarily Deny Me Boarding, Eh?

Following up on my previous two posts:

-- I WANT TO REDEEM MILES FOR THIS FLIGHT SO BAD!

-- Booked On A350 To Position For Qatar Airways A350 Inaugural Flight

I checked in for my flight yesterday.

And was about to head to the airport this morning, when I saw that I had a "schedule change" on my itinerary.

Have You Won $100 (Or An Amenity Kit)?

On Saturday I ran a contest offering a $100 American gift card or amenity kit to readers who shared their favorite use of AAdvantage miles.

As I mentioned in that post, between my paid travel and the sign up bonus on my CitiBusiness® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® World MasterCard®, I'm earning over 220,000 AAdvantage miles in January.

That's a ton of miles, so I thought it would be fun to talk about everyone's favorite redemptions. I had a great time reading the comments, and the stories on Facebook were especially fun!

Anyway, the giveaway ended on Saturday night, and the winners have now been chosen.
