Welcome to the Jill on Money Show. It's Monday, November 14th. And you know how much I love

0:10.3

the community of the Jill on Money Show, the eye on Money Show, the radio show, and anyone

0:15.5

else who just gets in touch with us. You guys are so helpful to me. And last week I was

0:23.2

talking about after I had gone on this trip, uh, travel abroad, that I had a defective seat on

0:32.0

the way back. And I didn't know how much to ask for what I should do. So one of you guys sent me

0:38.7

a great email. This is JJ, whose subject was air miles message, request 75,000 miles for the

0:46.4

overseas business class seat. That's 75,000 for the seat. Plus the 15,000 for the entertainment

0:52.8

failure makes for 90,000 miles. That's the cost of an international seat on two-ish weeks notice.

They need to do it. It's a major failure on their part for selling or not catching that seat. For

1:05.6

context, I've flown about two million miles and live much of my life on planes. I think 90 K is

changed our protocol. We can't just award miles on the spot anymore. We gave you 15,000 miles. That's

1:45.2

all that you can all be awarded. We can give you some sort of credit. So, Mark, I know you're

1:51.2

listening. But if you can actually talk, I would like you to guess what the credit was that they

1:56.0

gave me. Oh, God. I had no idea. I will guess $2,000. $1,000. And I was so happy. I was thrilled with

2:04.1

a thousand. Now, I mean, it could have been that I have to go through a whole rigour moron. I could

2:08.4

have gotten more. But with one phone call, 1000 miles, I don't know. I mean, a thousand bucks,
