<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NMBSURFER1, post: 762333, member: 19951&quot;]I just read the Mint&#039;s blog and apparently they also read the newspapers which recently detailed how people are getting tons and tons of free airline miles by using the direct ship program.&nbsp; It cost nothing to get the direct ship coins and you could also order as many as you like.&nbsp; So, for instance,&nbsp; I order $10,000 worth, receive them and get 10,000 airline miles.&nbsp; I then drop them all off at different banks, pay off my $10,000 credit card, keep the miles and start all over again.&nbsp; There are some innovative folks out there.</p><p><br /></p><p>To put a stop to this the mint now has a limit of 20 boxes going to one household.&nbsp; They also will process your credit card as a cash advance which does not earn miles.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I guess this is a way to stop people&#039;s innovation but I don&#039;t care for it as I don&#039;t earn miles on the one box I usually order yearly AND it cost me 5 percentage points on my credit card i.e., if my interest rate is 14% my cash advance rate is 19%.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
