Cameron: "After hearing comments by my family and friends, I have to say the dollar
coins are still my craziest mileage earning scheme."
James: "I would say the begging for MCR(Coke Reward) caps. Not a high point.
Standing_Baba: "Drove to five gas stations, back to back, for Vanilla Reloads."
Manda: "Not exactly for points, but in order to get my interest on my checking
accounts each month I normally make an extensive trip to Kroger/gas
station where I buy either 5 to 10 bananas or about a quarter of gas
one at a time. I go through the self check out at the grocery but I always
get pitying looks."
Uri: "I sent two greeting cards from a non-existing address"
My favorite has to be from Tasha:
"Club Carlson Big Night Give Away last year. Drove to Houston to stay at a Park In.
On the way my car got hit by a mattress so the 500 dollar deductible I had to pay really
ate up any benefit!"
She went on a matress run and her car got hit by a mattress! Oh, karma. Tasha, I am so sorry that happened to you, I hope you can look back and chuckle about it now.
We need to celebrate these antics, because it makes the hunt for points/miles even funnier. I always say "if you are going to do something, do it for the story." I wrote here about the five craziest things I have done for points.
Expect more crazy antics from Do It For The Points in our second year.
