"...The dollar coin trick involves...And this: <br />"...The dollar coin trick involves purchasing large amounts of coins with a frequent flier card, waiting for the Mint to ship the coins (free shipping!), and then taking the coins to the bank, where they are deposited and the money is used to pay the credit card charges. No money is lost, the frequent flier miles rack up, and travelers can use them for upgrades or completely free flights whenever they want. According to NPR's Planet Money, which broadcast a story about the scheme on Wednesday morning, the Mint caught on when some customers started buying hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of free coins, so it has since limited purchases to $1,000 every ten days. But 3,000 free frequent fliers miles per month still isn't a bad deal. NPR quotes Mint spokesman Tom Jurkowsky about the ways in which the Mint has tried to curb the practice: "Do we feel a little bit violated? Yes, and that's why we aggressively sought measures to eliminate what we called an abuse."<br /> <br />This is sort of like a hooker, who's got $50 million in the bank but continues to turn tricks, complaining of being violated when penetration occurs. <b>TOM IF YOU DON'T LIKE BEING PENETRATED, THEN DON'T INVITE SOMEONE OVER, TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF AND ASK THEM TO PENETRATE YOU.</b> If they do, don't suggest they've done something wrong.Negocios Loucoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12473763866587661478noreply@blogger.com
