    Re: Dirt poor relatives >I really don't understand why people see themselves as saints for letting relos use their FF points. My brother and his new wife are currently enjoying their honeymoon on a points fuelled jaunt (courtesy of moi) and I don't think the saint question was ever raised...

    I have seen enough hotel rooms to last me a lifetime. But I suppose we could give a free stay away at a hotel for someone. But this is not what I consider "helping" people thats more like trying to appear like Santa as the 2 fools above were trying to imply. The program was very useful for...

    Just can't help yourself can you ... see above. The same points apply to you also. Not everyone is as small minded as you and Karen. Both you and that silly cow have no idea how tight or otherwise I am. Or for that matter who and who I don't care for financialy or otherwise. So until you...

    >Speaking as an Accountant something which allows you to obtain something else at a discount is not generally referred to as being "worthless". Worthless to me love. Bit like a MacDonalds voucher for a vegeterian ... (get the point ? ) >Also speaking as an Accoiuntant, i am really OVER...

    Yes you have made some good points NM I too think that they don't increase the cost base because they just want to gouge a few extra bucks from the FF's. Umm.. as for routing it was for 2 adult tickets from Mt Isa , Brisbane, Perth. and reverse ... I think ... or maybe it went to Melbourne ...

    Fair comments Lindsay .. but I was not the one to start this particular little flame war .. "tight cough" was the first shot then a little defensive move on my part commenting about the charming nature of some posters came next, then the knight in shining armor Sully comming to the aid of the...

    >Not a very nice thing to say about your relatives, but hey its up to you. LOL .. yes well ... thats probably not quite what I meant. >Like a couple of other posters here I am a bit surprised that you think 165k is useless. I think I have explained my reasoning but I will spell it out...

    Ya know, what really got up my goat about this was the fact that we had rung and asked them what days they would like to come to Perth. We got them all excited sorting out dates and whatnot and then when we came to press the submit button only then did we find out how much it would be ! In...

    Thanks for the replys. The fact is we really don't want to fly, to get 165k of them sort of indicates we have had enough of that. In years gone past we have given the great majority of our points away. Mainly to our dirt poor relations for funerals weddings etc. The family members I was...
