Howdy folks. I've been playing the Game of Cards for a while now. I've always had some kind of reward card, but really starting hitting it hard about 5 years ago. Mainly use points and miles for quick weekend trips and a big trip annually. I've had most cards and live way over 5/24. I'm running out of options for new cards and am looking to start hitting MS hard(er) and help others around me overcome their fears and start playing the Game.
My SO had terrible credit, but we've got that fixed so she's in the game now. She's gone from 0 points/miles to just under 200k in less than 15 months.
Got one brother deep in the game and one that has yet to convert. Mom and dad (well, mom) are reluctant too, but I'll win them over soon. SO's parents have seen us jet setting like rich folks and finally just recently got in the Game. Convinced a big spending buddy to stop wasting his spend recently. Many other friends are starting to consistently hit me up for info. They all tell me I need to write a book, but I know I've only scratched the surface of what the Game can provide.
In all honestly, the L2 forums and potential talks with those more savvy than me are what drew me here. Never done any networking in the hobby (don't do much in life) and looking to change that. Look forward to sharing what I've learned and helping like minded individuals.
