Ha, awesome. It's interesting to watch as people systematically exploit all pricing discontinuities and loopholes. Of course, this is what also gets us spam.

I wonder if at some point all pricing ends up having to be flat because of arbitrageurs operating in this manner.
(I feel slightly bad - I rarely deal with frequent flier miles even when I do fly, and I've canceled a credit card that offered frequent flier miles because they mailed me such an unbelievable amount of shit.)
- forensic 17y agoI can't bring myself to do these kinds of corporate exploits. It just makes me feel like I'm spending my life learning about a bunch of bullshit arbitrary rules rather than something I care about or something that helps the world. So I end up paying full price for first class, lol. What a chump.
- joshu 17y agoMe too. OTOH I do like to find regular routes that are nice but cheap. SJC -> EWR on continental used to be $700ish in business class.
