Guy last night used air miles to pay for dinner date
Poast new message in this thread
Date: July 6th, 2010 2:42 PM Author: olive stimulating hissy fit He's a banker that does a lot of traveling apparently. It was a nice restaurant and meal but he ended up paying with air mile rewards. should i be offended about this. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1358738&forum_id=2#15428646) |

Date: July 6th, 2010 4:47 PM Author: Sapphire Crawly Field Not necessarily. It's questionable, perhaps, and I'd view it a little suspect on an initial date or three, but if you've been dating a fair bit, i don't see the problem at all. Soemtimes it's just more convenient. Such conveniences look a bit gauche on a first or second date, however.

Date: July 6th, 2010 4:47 PM Author: excitant adulterous selfie voyeur This is confusing to me. Why does it look gauche? The only thing I can think of is if you don't do your waitstaff a solid and tip in cash so that they can cheat the government. Other than that, what is the issue?

|
Date: July 6th, 2010 4:49 PM Author: Sapphire Crawly Field Social custom, perhaps. Trying to take you out cheaply looks a bit gauche on an initial date or two. I mean, if you want a cheap date, just go get coffee -- but don't take a girl to a nice place and pay with airline miles. It likely demonstrates that what you really viewed the date as "worth" is equivalent to said coffee date. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1358738&forum_id=2#15429396) |
|
Date: July 6th, 2010 4:50 PM Author: excitant adulterous selfie voyeur Okay, but maybe you are confused. It isn't "cheap." He doesn't save any money. At all. He has saved not a single cent doing it this way. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1358738&forum_id=2#15429402) |

Look. Either he pays with miles directly, or goes home and applies the miles afterward. This is money in his pocket, literally no different from the money he is paid in his paycheck, except fewer places accept miles than do dollars. Everything else is precisely the same. Money is fungible. His miles are a part of his compensation. |
|
Date: July 6th, 2010 5:01 PM Author: Sapphire Crawly Field please do take a poll of 100 women on first dates and ask if they would view a guy paying with airline miles as even the least bit odd. if a significant percentage do, then you understand the importance of social custom.
I am not saying she should stop dating the guy -- I am just saying that for whatever reason, on a first date or two, such actions seem a tad off.

|
Date: July 6th, 2010 5:08 PM Author: Sapphire Crawly Field The airline miles were essentially "paid" for by his employer. YES they have value, NO they are not equivalent to paying out of pocket. Furthermore, he did this IN FRONT OF THE GIRL ON A FIRST DATE. You have to have zero understanding of women or managing early impressions to do such a thing. Go ahead --ask other women. I bet most will respond as I did -- yes, it's a bit weird, no she should not stop seeing the guy because of it. Social customs are what they are, and when we have little other info on which to gauge a guy(i.e.-as on on a first date), we fall back on such customs to guide appropriate behavior. It's why, for example, i don't care if my bf pays for dinner w coupons anymore, or why it no longer matters when he walks around in torn underwear. On fairst date, however, I don't know the guy and don't have all of the other info. necessary to gauge intentions, and so forth. |

Date: July 6th, 2010 5:16 PM Author: excitant adulterous selfie voyeur Holy shit.
Listen. I get that it's weird. Okay? I get that it's weird. But it is weird by the arbitrary operation of custom only, as I mentioned in a couple of examples already - word to your mother, wampum - and not by anything else. That is fine. What this reveals, I will agree, is that the guy is insensitive to the delicate and manifold stupidities of the female mind, and hence has revealed himself, on the first date, to have the kind of autism-spectrum disregard for pointless custom that, likely, is coincident with the intelligence required for him to have gotten his job in the first place.
That said, you have argued several times in this thread that has shown himself to be cheap. No. He has not. He has not realized a single cent of savings. It is perhaps arguable, I guess, by someone more sophisticated than you, that because the universe of transactions to which he can apply miles is smaller than cash, a mile is less perfectly fungible than cash, and so it has infinitesimally smaller real value prior to the transaction. But you haven't argued that and don't even know what I'm talking about. Anyway, he has not been cheap. He has shown himself to flout convention, perhaps to his detriment.
TO RECAP:
(1) He isn't cheap, contrary to your several assertions. (2) It was a somewhat aspie move. |
|
Date: July 6th, 2010 5:20 PM Author: Sapphire Crawly Field 1)It was an aspie move 2)I have elite staus on two airlines and know PRECISELY what you're talking about. The more important reason why this demonstrates a lack of respect/perhaps cheapness is because the miles are simply NOT EQUIVALENT TO CASH. THEY ARE NOT EARNED MONEY. If they were, they would be immediately transferred into cash by many, if not most, frequent fliers. Even worse, if he has a job in which he earns enough miles to pay for a dinner date, he likely also earns enough money to pay for said date out of pocket. This is doubly disrespectful. |
|
Date: July 6th, 2010 5:25 PM Author: excitant adulterous selfie voyeur This goes to fungibility, as I mentioned, and as you have shown yourself not to understand. Please explain to me the correct discount to apply to each 100 miles vis-a-vis dollars, state your assumptions, and show your work. Helpful for this would be a definition of the average consumer, an explanation of the transferability of each miles account between and among accounts, a correct assessment of the proportion of economic actors who countenance value in airline miles, and what discount (if any) they are likely to apply.
I understand that they are not exactly equivalent to cash. But as a BOTE thumbnail, their fungibility is high enough, especially in the commercial milieu of your average New York banker, to make it a push.
DO shut up. |
|
Date: July 6th, 2010 5:30 PM Author: Sapphire Crawly Field That's actually quite simple: An average r/t domestic ticket is 25,000 miles; compare that against the actual cost a flier pays for a similar ticket on said airline.
As an example, a average NY-MIA r/t costs approx $250 with a week's advance purchase; compare this with the 25,000 miles. Clearly 25,000 miles are not equivalent to $25,000 dollars -- each mile, is in fact, worth 10cents.
ERGO, he got the dinner for ten cents on the Dollar. This is also why miles are not convertible into cash. HTH.
|
|
Date: July 6th, 2010 5:34 PM Author: excitant adulterous selfie voyeur 250 x 100 = 25,000. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
(Since you have trouble: if a mile were worth $0.10 in this instance, it would have taken 2500 miles. Not 25,000. However, you were in Playboy.) |
|
Date: July 6th, 2010 5:36 PM Author: Sapphire Crawly Field you're doing it wrong miles only have value relative to the actual cost of products; you are only saving cash vs. what you might have otherwise spent. thus, in this case, the 25,000 miles are only worth $250, that is, ten cents on the Dollar! It doesn't go the otherw ay around: In fact, if you were to BUY miles, you'd be charged $300 - $500 per 1000 miles, depending on the airline DOUBLY PWNED |
|
Date: July 6th, 2010 5:37 PM Author: excitant adulterous selfie voyeur Oh nevermind. You won't get this.
I agree that there are particular rules for redemptions of miles with airlines that tend to make the value of miles a bit less plastic with them than with other retailers. There are, moreover, contracts between miles providers and other retailers that can set values that are different from the value enjoyed in the wider market. (Note that pegging currency is similar though non-identical to this.) However, since you can't multiply, you can imagine my worry. |
|
Date: July 6th, 2010 5:38 PM Author: Sapphire Crawly Field It doesn't go the other way around: In fact, if you were to BUY miles, you'd be charged $30 - $50 per 1000 miles, depending on the airline.
DOUBLY PWNED
Also, you fail to miss how I constructed the formula and WHY it's the relevant one. The $250 x 100 = $25,000 ONLY DEMONSTRATES THAT YES, $250 = 25,000 miles. This is because 25,000/100 reduces to 250/1 or a 250:1 ratio, genius. |
|
Date: July 6th, 2010 5:43 PM Author: excitant adulterous selfie voyeur LOL. I will leave you to work on your math, first of all. I happily concede, though, that airlines have rules governing redemption and purchase of miles. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1358738&forum_id=2#15429793) |

Listen. Let me make this simple:
Traveler wants to buy a plane ticket! His airline says: "Well, you can pay us $250, or you can pay us with 25,000 frequent flier miles." Traveler says, "Why do you give me the option?" Airline says, "We consider them to be equivalent." Traveler says, "$250 is equivalent to FF25000?" Airline says, "You got it!"
If Traveler has FF100, how many $ does he have? |

Date: July 6th, 2010 6:01 PM Author: excitant adulterous selfie voyeur If 1FF = $0.10, as you claim, how many FF to get $1?
Do you agree that ten cents is 1/10th of a dollar?
I say this without sarcasm, because you've forced me to: do you, in fact, know what a cent is? |

Date: July 6th, 2010 5:30 PM Author: Sapphire Crawly Field That's actually quite simple: An average r/t domestic ticket is 25,000 miles; compare that against the actual cost a flier pays for a similar ticket on said airline.
As an example, a average NY-MIA r/t costs approx $250 with a week's advance purchase; compare this with the 25,000 miles. Clearly 25,000 miles are not equivalent to $25,000 dollars -- each mile, is in fact, worth 10cents.
ERGO, he got the dinner for ten cents on the Dollar. This is also why miles are not convertible into cash. HTH.

You have to have zero understanding of women or managing early impressions to do such a thing. Go ahead --ask other women. I bet most will respond as I did -- yes, it's a bit weird, no she should not stop seeing the guy because of it. Social customs are what they are, and when we have little other info on which to gauge a guy(i.e.-as on on a first date), we fall back on such customs to guide appropriate behavior. It's why, for example, i don't care if my bf pays for dinner w coupons anymore, or why it no longer matters when he walks around in torn underwear. On fairst date, however, I don't know the guy and don't have all of the other info. necessary to gauge intentions, and so forth.

most rewards programs that i'm aware of give the greatest discount (or, the most dollars per point/mile) if used towards hotels and flights. if he used it for dinner, it's quite likely that it actually cost him more than it would to buy a flight or hotel room (a $200 meal likely would have cost more in points than a $200 flight/hotel). it's very possible that the meal was more expensive if paid for in points that if paid for in dollars if you account for opportunity cost.

So in that sense, the miles might be worth more than US dollars. Holy shit! He's a keeper! (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1358738&forum_id=2#15429718) |

Date: July 6th, 2010 5:34 PM Author: Sapphire Crawly Field Read what I wrote in response to ak below -- furthermore, airline tickets are4 not priced on a PPP basis or a f/x differential -- you don't travel more cheaply from Bolivia to Miami, just because you buy the ticket in the local Bolivian currency.
That's actually quite simple: An average r/t domestic ticket is 25,000 miles; compare that against the actual cost a flier pays for a similar ticket on said airline.
As an example, a average NY-MIA r/t costs approx $250 with a week's advance purchase; compare this with the 25,000 miles. Clearly 25,000 miles are not equivalent to $25,000 dollars -- each mile, is in fact, worth 10cents.
ERGO, he got the dinner for ten cents on the Dollar. This is also why miles are not convertible into cash. HTH.

I wouldn't care.
The meal is worth X amount of money regardless of how he got it. His company paid him in both salary and in perks. I really don't see the difference if he got this particular perk from company paid trips or actual cash.
One of my guy friends and his wife went out with a colleague to a baseball game. The colleague had the tickets, and my friend paid for dinner afterwards. Then later when my friend found out the colleague got the tickets through work, he was pissed.
WTF. Baseball tickets are worth something regardless of how you got them. That guy could have chosen to sell those tickets. It's still money he chose to spend on my friend. |

I second the question of how the hell you knew he was using the miles. Did he tell you? That is a bit odd. |
|
Date: July 6th, 2010 11:31 PM Author: sepia faggot firefighter trump supporter The thing with the gift certificate is that restaurants that tend to give away gift certificates might not be appropriate for first dates. It might look gauche to whip out the gift certificate and it shows that he picked the restaurant with cost savings in mind and might not have considered other factors, such as convenience of location or whether I would like the food.
Other than that, it really doesn't matter how he pays for the meal. Also if I know he's paying with gift certificate or miles that means there's more money to spend on nicer meals or wine. |
