   I know, have a friend in this situation.  Lives off reserve and she goes   
   there for gas and cigs all the time.  Has status card.  Even joked with   
   her if I could get a status card if we got married.

   Not sure of that, but will take your word for it.  Do know if it is   
   delivered to the reserve, no taxes.  But in reality, that would be easy   
   to beat.

   Mine are already paid.  Always do it early so if they screw up I can get   
   it fixed easier.  Don't get enough meaningful interest to wait to the   
   last minute.   
      
   I wonder if you can become status?  Should see...
