Do you think we'll get the letter offering us those worthless coupons if we pay early?
YES!!!!! The maintenance fees early payment promotion is now on the home page of MSC! And SVO has sweetened the deal with "automatic entry in two exciting contests for a chance to win up to 1,000,000 Starpoints and other exciting travel prizes"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
