United Airlines Red Carpet Free Drink Tickets Should NOT Expire :-)
The CEO of Memex Automation, Dave McPhail, was in town this past week. He was traveling to Chicago on Wednesday morning. He mentioned that he would be in the Red Carpet Club. I had some free drink tickets and gave them to Dave. He said that there was no way they would take the free drink tickets because they appeared to be so old. I said that they should accept them even though they were at least 15 years old. I was wrong, Dave McPhail was right and below is the photo of the United Red Carpet Club bartender ripping up my free drink tickets. Lesson learned for me is that you should use free drink tickets at least every decade :-)
