There will be a MileValue meet up tomorrow (2/17/14) at The Australian at 20 W 38th St in Manhattan from 5 PM to 8 PM.
I’ve wanted to hold a meet up in New York City for quite a long time. Unfortunately I will only be there from Monday through Thursday, so I can’t hold a customary MileValue dinner. And I really apologize for not having my other plans set soon enough to give more than 24 hours notice.
But I hope everyone will be able to join me for Happy Hour at the Australian. I’ll make sure I am there from 5 PM to 8 PM, and others can come come and go as their schedule permits. I called and confirmed that The Australian’s Happy Hour will be from 4 PM – 7 PM as usual even though tomorrow is a holiday. The Happy Hour menu features steeply discounted food and drink.
Like past MileValue meet ups, this one will be:
- Free, other than the cost of your food and drink.
- Split checks, so we can all show off our credit cards.
- Open to people of all miles-knowledge levels.
- Informational. There will be no prepared remarks, but I will be happy to answer all the questions that you may have about earning and redeeming miles or my recent travels.
- Possibly full of secret info people won’t post online (and no, I won’t email it to people who can’t attend).
- Social, a great chance to meet other people in this hobby from the New York area and talk travel.
If you want to join the fun, there is no need to RSVP. You can let us know in the comments though.
Where should I host MileValue dinners in the future?
PS: I have about a very, very few of these beauties left in Small and Large only if anyone wants one. First come, first served in person.
Just getting started in the world of points and miles? The Chase Sapphire Preferred is the best card for you to start with.

Oh wow! I will try to make it!
I should be there for at least part of your time there.
Boston!
I’m there.
I’ll be attending Toy Fair. If possible, I’m a 50/50 after 7:15. Thanks to HPN-HRL for the heads up.
sounds awesome – will likely be there 6ish!
Great! I’ll be there.
I still luv my t-shirt…wish I could be there. See you next time!
I will try my hardest to swing through on my way to work tomorrow night! Will be in touch! 🙂
Las Vegas!
That would be awesome. I am likely to be there for a weekend in March, but I won’t know until the last minute.
Keep us updated. I live about 2 hours from Sin City and don’t have any travel plans in March but April threw September are pretty full. Hope to see you then.
I’ll be there! And if you have a large one of those t-shirts left over, I’ll happily take one (and even wear it from time to time).

Minneapolis/St. Paul next time you have lay over in fly-over country!
I would love to visit MSP area in the summer.
How about coming to the Twin Cities sometime? Yes, it has been a horrible winter here, but spring, summer and fall are all pretty awesome!
I remember thinking how nice the employees at MSP were and the girl I know from MSP is awesome too, so I’ll have to come.
Are you at the Australian? Or did you switch venues?
We were there occupying most of the center of the back of the restaurant. Sorry you missed us.
I was there noone else was?

Did the meetup happen somewhere else? I was there but no one else was. Could be because their credit card system was down….
