I really hope you didn't think that out when you typed that. |
Does anyone ever try to ask for a student loan check for someone else? I have a family member who has a student loan with Sallie Mae. I can pay for his loan and then he can give me a check. |
Recently used 60k points(fixed point option) for San Francisco to Birmingham, UK RT. Basic fare was 1190$+tax, so almost 2cents(or 2%) return-not bad at all! |

I wouldn't necessarily say its 2% return. Unless you spent $60,000 to attain those 60,000 TYP. There are cards out there where you can earn >1 point/$. I have the Citi Chairman card that gives me 3 TYP/$ on select spend + an extra 3 TYP matched via flight points for up to 6 TYP/$. If I spent $10,000 in all select spend categories, I'd get 60,000 TYP (if I flew 30k miles). So in my situation, it'd be $1190 +tax ~ 12%++ return. |
It was mentioned earlier, but the Lands End Gift Cards are only 90,000 TY points per $100.00 Card. I had heard that you could use the Lands End cards at Sears for anything you want there. I wasn't sure if I could trust that, especially after a Sears Customer Service person told me that it could only be used for clothing. So I tried it out today, and was able to buy some tools on my Lands End Gift Card. This is really great, because they also have Sears Gift Cards for the full 100,00 TY Points per $100.00 card. Now I'll stock up and have some on hand for when the super deals come along. |

Because I might not use it in the near future and store policy can be changed anytime they want. I don't shop any Land's End item. |
From the FAQ on the Lands' End website: Where can I use the Lands’ End® Gift Card? So in reality the Lands' End gift card is really a three-store gift card that is on sale at TY Network now. Lands' End has been owned by Sears since 1963, I don't think it's going anywhere. I am in for one. |

Yes, my mistake. Lands' End has been in business since 1963, but they weren't bought by Sears until 2002. Sears acquired them for $1.9 billion in cash. |

In any case, I think I'm going to gamble and convert all my TYP's to Land's End GC's, even if it might take me years to use them. Because, I'm going to consolidate all my Citi cards into one card, and worry that I might somehow lose my TYP's in the process. |
got this email from CustomerService@thankyou.citibank.com: "Due to a system error, your online ThankYou Member Account statement did not reflect the appropriate expiration date for some of your ThankYou Points. To correct this error, we have changed the expiration date of these points. Our records indicate that none of these impacted points will expire in 2008. In addition, we have reviewed your online ThankYou Member Account statement to ensure that all of your ThankYou Points are associated with the appropriate expiration dates, as specified in your sponsor account materials." Most points are from having a Citibank acct. 10k are from opening a citibank thankyou points creditcard. Thankyou points have an expiration date? |
AFAIK there was no expiration date. |
ThankYou points from Driver's Edge expire one year after conversion. Don't know about other cards. |

Thanks downhillskier. What happens to TY points related to that account if I cancel one of the credit cards(accounts)? |
