I like doing bpay at WM, since you can skip MO. Check out this thread:

the level of questions in this forum deserve such answers. a 2 minute goog search would answer 98% of them, but a sense of entitlement coupled with laziness, etc have made this forum a nursery school.

these same types are those that kill deals/stores/sanity. why people have patience to answer these inane questions- i don't understand. i see no equivalent level of posts in other FT forums. If so, we'd see...

Post 1 in the starwood forum:
Hi. I'm new and was wondering how this works. I'm traveling to NY and don't have relatives there. are you saying i can pay money and rent a room for a night? what if it's a week? 4 days? how do i pay? do i get a key when i pay or will there be someone there to give me a key when i arrive?!? can i pay at walmart? does walmart have keys?

will there be others in the same room with me? OT, but I'm biologically a 33 year old man, but identify as a 7 year old girl named Tabitha. do you think that will be an issue when using sleeping/shower facilities?

are there cleaning supplies to clean up the room before i leave? how big is the deposit? is it hard to get your deposit back?

also, what's the deal with these starpoints i read about? how do you get them? i heard you use them to throw out the first pitch at game 7 of the world series. I'd like to do that - how do i schedule my world series appearance? I'm so excited! go 49er's!

post 2, AA forum:

Hi! I'm going to NY and usually drive but i read that you can fly kinda like a bird, but different and faster?!? wow! I'm new, so I have a few questions I couldn't find answers to. First, ........

Simons are the easiest to liquidate for me. Give em to me before any Ice Cream Gebit. Waly World Middle of Nowhere Mid West eats them as cookie monster eats its cookies. In South Florida, I have plenty of Simons to buy them, but in the Middle of Nowhere Mid West I have only one mall that is 30 miles away from current work location. So I use them for Minimum Spend, specially now that Citi and Barclays are a live again to churn.

For those that have purchased the simon gift cards online and through their site, how long does it usually take to receive your cards via regular mail? I'm referring to total time to process the order, ship, and receive them in my mailbox.

I think about a month... seriously I had to escalate and get them re-issued. Did one final order back on Christmas and I'm still waiting. Not sure why its such an issue since GCM processes it. That said, I'm not sure why anyone would purchase anything from simon online now.

Do it. I've done 5 in one day driving about 300 miles. Added an extra 40-50 miles to my drive but well worth it.
