BOILING HOT!!! HURRY! Canon PC 170 Personal Copy Machine-Normally $345, Now Just $24 After 71% Instant Savings And A $75 Rebate!!!

Friday, January 12th, 2007

Update 3: You must buy this by Saturday-01/13 to qualify for the rebate-remember there is no limit to the number of rebates that you can get-you will get $75 back for each copier that you buy!

Update 2: Currently when you click on the link it shows J&R selling it for $149. To get it for the cheaper price you must go to the “More buying options” on the right hand side and choose to buy it from “Amazon.com-Add to cart to see price.”

Update: Some keen-eyed commenters noticed that there is no “1 rebate per household” limit. Instead they only limit the rebate to “1 per product purchased” meaning that you can buy as many of these as you want and get a $75 rebate for each one.

This is from Amazon-so there’s no tax, free shipping, and their great return policy…

Neat Interactive Graph Of Possible Airline Mergers…

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

It’s always good to keep on top of M&A activity in a sector in which I have so much invested. (In miles, of course…)

USAToday has a neat graph showing which airlines may merge with each other. While I don’t agree with it 100%, it’s pretty accurate for the most part.

United Airlines Offers An Elite Challenge!

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

I have blogged in the past about AA’s secret challenge program that is a fast track to Gold or Platinum Elite status.

United now is offering a similar program, although it differs in many details.

You can get 2P(Premier) or 1P (Premier Executive) status through the program.

To enroll call 1-800-421-4655 and ask to sign up for promo MPP597
The cost is $100.
Fly 6,250 EQM’s within 90 days of registration and you get 2P status.
Fly 12,500 EQM’s within 90 days of registration and you get 1P status.
Status lasts from the time when you complete the challenge until 02/08.

(For those of you not familiar with EQM’s it means elite qualifying miles. On united all fares earn 100% eqm’s except full fare coach, business, and first which earn 150% eqm’s. Basically if your flight is 10,000 miles and you’re in a regular coach fare you will get 10,000 EQM’s, if you are flying in first you will get 15,000 EQM’s.)

If people request it, I can make another post hammering out the exact details between the AA and UA challenges…

On The Road…

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007

/begin rant=feel free to skip over my moaning and groaning…

Today was supposed to have been the day when I was to start a whirlwind itinerary that was to be able to hold its own with past itineraries such as
my insane 36 hour/14 flight AA/Dallas marathon itinerary
or
my free AA trip from Brazil-Dallas-New York-Tokyo-Los Angeles-Miami-Brazil.

Here was my planned trip:
01/03-Drive to Toronto for a high school classmate’s wedding.
01/03-Drive back to Cleveland after the wedding.
01/04-Fly from Cleveland to Israel via Newark on Continental (1st class, of course, what better way to burn 100k CO miles?)
01/21-Fly from Tel Aviv to Los Angeles via Newark on Continental (all in 1st as part of the 100k miles ticket)
01/28-Fly from Long Beach, CA to Chicago on Jetblue (Bought back during the crazy $36 sale)
01/28-Drive to Cleveland
01/29-Start the next semester in Graduate Business School in my quest toward earning my MBA…

However just a couple days ago after months of planning out each detail and helping him earn the miles for the trip-my traveling companion cancelled out on me-and I just don’t think it would be wise to go to Israel by myself…so there goes that plan.

At any rate I’m off to Toronto, but I’ll be back all too soon :(

/end rant=now back to the regularly scheduled programming…
