if you have no real business - driving

This was a question I was asking myself in an earlier post on canadiancapitalist.com
If you incur that currency
conversion hit, that's a one time 2 % hit you're taking on the switch (assuming a one

points to one of Amex's hotel partners, stick with Hilton Honors, which offers a higher

points ups the value, when one has MR
points in larger numbers (which, logically, you would

pointing to the truth of the Second Law of Thermodynamics (i.e. that energy can not be created nor destroyed) and the reality of Entropy (i.e. that energy
conversion leads to increasing disorder in the Universe).
