Halfway to a FREE Longines HydroConquest!
Discussion
So, I fly a lot as Mrs9 is in London, I am in Houston and I sometimes work away as well...
In December I managed to rack up about 75,000 airmiles with United. Usually I just use these for upgrades and don't think much about them.
I don't even have a credit card (though I know I should) that gives me miles as I always seem to have 'enough' (business upgrade is only 20,000 one way Houston to Heathrow)for my needs.
However, today I got an email suggesting I go 'shopping' with my miles. Usually I wouldn't even bother looking but I am bored and avoiding work as they won't give me any details on my trip to Lagos
next week (I've not even had my vaccinations yet)!
You can buy loads of watches! I am sure the 'cost' of the watch is far lower than the flights/ miles cost me but I was quite pleased to see they had some ok stuff on there like Longines, Rado, Hamilton and Breitling.
When I move back to the UK I doubt I'll be coming back to America as Mrs9 (of Iranian descent and thinks she'll land and be sent straight to Guantanamo) won't come here, so I might as well cash the miles in on a watch!
Wonder how much airmiles whoring I can do by summer?!
Thought this represented the best 'value' and is well regarded on here (not that I need another watch but could always flip something)...
