Consumer Reports writes about us!

If you can get a copy of Consumer Reports,
check the July 1998 issue about Frequent
Flyer programs and the problems their members
have had getting upgrades and free tickets.

Good article though "Inside Flyer" and this
web site beat them to it.

Yes, they have a quote from Randy in there. Also frequentflyer.com. It's actually an informative couple of paragraphs but too generalized to be very helpful.
CR is a great magazine overall. They test a lot of products and report about them in an unbiased manner. Their automobile testing is very thorough and reliable. I wouldn't buy a car without reading about it in CR.

Why react on a post from 1998?

glitch

I guess that's a glitch. The article is in this month's Consumer Reports. Nice catch though.

We all know about the difficulties in redeeming miles; it would be more useful to publish tips on what to do about it.

Again, it wasn't a comprehensive discussion of redeeming FF miles, just a few paragraphs with some guidelines and links. It won't be any use to subscribers to this site but the general public might find it helpful.
