OC Meetup: Saturday July 26, Saturday August 9, or Both?
I get a few emails and comments every week asking about a miles and points meet up in Orange County. Well the time has arrived. Which Saturday night works best for you?
I expect to see exactly 20 people at the upcoming meetup…
The time and place are still TBD, but I’ll probably go back to the In-N-Out at the Tustin District at 6PM. I will update you on the exact time later this week. Come for the food, stay for the miles and points tricks. Or come for the miles and points tricks, and stay for the food. The choice is yours.
I don’t have a problem going to both days, so if you are free both days, just vote for both days. And as a reminder, there is a large group of 20+ people from FlyerTalk meeting up in La Jolla this Sunday night for a meet up. I will be there as well. If you are interested, please go here and leave a comment.
I’m looking to see some new and a few familiar faces. Have a great weekend everyone!
get some more bloggers to join Grant ? the more the merrier
It’s hard to plan with other travel bloggers (they travel too much to keep track of) :)
I had momentary excitement…..living in Orange County…..Florida. Darned.
No no no. “The OC” in SoCal.
Too many imitation cities in Florida, hahha
Are there “Frequent Flyer” Meetups in Boston? Or a “Miles Group”? Is it ONLY in California??
There are meet ups everywhere (everywhere miles and points people are). Check on FlyerTalk or MilePoint for information. If you know any bloggers in Boston, maybe you can help them organize a gathering.
Off-topic…here in OC. Went to Walmart MoneyCenter Kiosk on Beach Blvd near 22 today. The nazi lady behind the counter wouldn’t let me load my Serve card using the kiosk. Got me so furious. I was trying to do it from the kiosk and not even through her. Such a b*tch!
Find your happy place and try going back on a different day/time. How did she stop you from using the kiosk?
She came over and ask to see my card and canceled my session on the kiosk! I’ve never had this happen to me before. She was very rude about it too. She repeatedly say you can’t use a prepaid to load a prepaid.
Next time, bring your real debit card with you and keep your gift cards in your pocket. when it is time to slide the card, make the switcheroo. #catandmousegame
I did exactly that just now. It’s crazy though. The lady was busy for a bit, but when I was about to be done with my second card, just put in the pin..she came over and nagged at me. Different lady this time. I showed her my debit card in my wallet and she said oh I thought you had a different one. She told me it was illegal to load. I said oh ok….and finished up and left.
Goodness, you go to a very strict Walmart. What city/state are you in?
I’m in OC…the one in Westminster. Corner of Beach and Trask.
I see, can you go to any other WM locations? You might be safer than dealing with crazy people.
