I’d love to have alot of play money. October in Chicago to see NKOTB on my birthday would be the best present money could buy. Problem is, no money.
and so it happens again, the wealthy enjoys the privilages that others can only dream about. Have a wonderful time!
I thought it was possible to trade 1 MR point for $0.01 statement credit with the Centurion card. If so, this e-mail offer isn’t a centurion offer, but “only” that of a Platinum Card…
You’re going to have a blast at New Kids on the Block. I’m really proud of you.
