The Guide to Free Surf Travel

i got nailed by a urchin nica those things fkn suck. i didnt know they had removal kits? read my thread bro i wanna go on a trip with you.

 

"wait i just though of something so if you get points for buying stuff. couldnt you go to the post office buy a 1000$ money order then cash it,,, go back in and buy another? and keep doing it? wait **** those are credit cards not debit..."

A lot of cards have fine print now which qualifies purchases of money orders / visa debit cards as a cash advance and will not post points/miles for such purchases.

From my understanding, you could absolutely do this a few years ago, and in certain places, you still can at Walmart money centers

--my bad i kook'd it on the quoting thing

 

checked my email this morning and had the usual batch of hotel and credit card deal offers and laughed my ass off because of this excellent, helpful, wise thread. thank you very much again, Yankee!

 

Thanks for the info Yank, soon as I get a breath I'll check all this out.

Hell week at work, but I'm knocking it out.

 

yanks, I broke my spell of silence to chime in here. My wife and I do this as well, we travel a lot and never pay for airfare. We put absolutely everything on miles cards, and switch them up every 2-3 years to stay on top of the new member incentives. This year Hawaii, cali, Munich for oktoberfest, all for $free.50

You're spending it anyways, might as well get rewarded. Cheers... or ... Prost!

 

Ankle is good, no repercussions after a couple sessions last weekend, but I've been working so much this week haven't gotten any exercise. Still working rt now, babysitting a database migration.

Been eating well though and managed to shed a few more pounds I packed on while I was laid up. On-call this week and through the weekend. If I don't get bugged after this DB migration I plan on getting in some good solid workouts Sat and Sun.

Thanks for asking amigo, hope you're well.

 

Nope if it pooches then I have to start over. And plan B is like a 42 hour outage. This one should be done in about 1.5 hrs. Trying a new method for migrating the data. If it works I'm sure I'll get an "attaboy".

If only attaboys racked up flyer miles.

 

i'm motivated. by this from Yankee. after all the years. no more playing around. upgrade time. bring it on amex ultimate quadrillion platinum and chase freedom sapphire douchebag, or whatever it's called. every freakin' kickass offer with waived the first year annual fee and then cancelled at the 11 month mark, with every drop drained dry. this is war. keep sendin' them offers. I spend and have the top credit rating. THANK YOU. i'm traveling

 

Good on ya Yankee. I like this stuff. I'm in the restaurant business and a trick we use it to pay all our Sysco (food) bills with a credit card, then just pay the credit card as you would a regular bill. My particular restaurant buys over $1 million dollars a year from Sysco alone. Thats one millon points per year, more than you can use. My problem is getting the time off. It's a family business so I am going to have to work on getting more vacation time to use. Whats with all the good spirits? Did you turn over a new leaf? Just kiddin.

 

Dude, you own Caddy's!?

 

I surf very very early, usually amongst the first in the water whilst others are sleeping off the prior nights substance abuse. In PR I go where very few others know to go, or to places where those that "want to be seen" surfing, would never think to go. I usually, although not always, get a couple of hours by myself, or with a couple of others out. Satisfies that craving.....

 

o barry so you paddle domes early

 

Domes?? hahahaha!! Only if I want "to be seen", or photographed by some ass photog from New Jersey who thinks he is about to be famous with crappy pixes
