This Modern World
In the last few days, I
1) learned that I had frequent flyer miles that would expire if not revitalized by the end of April
2) tried to use them for travel in May, hoping that trying to use them would revitalize them
3) Paid for new travel for May, hoping that paying for travel would revitalize my miles
4) Found out the miles only revitalize once you've completed the new travel
5) Looked at other ways to revitalize miles
6) Opted to make a purchase (of something I needed, but would have bought locally) from a big box office supply store through the airline connection, to revitalize the miles.
7) Added something extraneous that I wanted but didn't need to my order to get free shipping on the main office supply purchase
8) Have been told that I will have revitalized miles in 2-4 days.
Commerce didn't always work like this.
