HHonors/Frequenta bonus: A big thank you to Ozstamps
Many thanks to Ozstamps for his crazy lateral thinking that has helped so many of us to earn all those Frequenta/Hilton miles.
What a shame that so many people at the outset decried what he had suggested, saying the whole thing was impossible, instead of signing up themselves.
I bet you all have now!
Merry Christmas.

I would also add my sentiments to this post. I have quickly run up a lot of Hilton points thanks to tips from Ozstamps. I know he's being dragged through the mud in other forums (please don't rehash his infractions here) but I have benefitted from his presence on FT.

I, too (at least in this instance), have benefitted from Ozstamps' presence on FT. Thank you, Oz, for the Mexicana/Hilton tip(s).
However, the issue here is one of credibility. You can't turn the channel if you don't know whether the program is credible. Or if you don't know the identity or intentions of the programmer.

Also thanks to mileonaire for bringing this to the front. I had given up because I did not want the hassle of the phone card, but after reading a little more I found out people were emailing Mexicana and getting only the initial bonus converted to Hilton! Here's to my hopeful 10k HH!

Yep, many thanks to ozstamps!
It's also worth changing Frequenta to your Hilton airline for double dipping. Just a few stays and you get another 10k Hilton points, which are more worthwhile than a few hundred FF miles.

Ozstamps, thank you for all your insights and your contributions, especially on how to earn more mileage and points.
Your piece about 1k has motivated me to set it as a goal.

There are many - - he/they posted all over the boards. Here's one: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum.../003354-4.html
When reading this thread, keep in mind that Ozstamps, Janejet and MolsonMiler are all one and the same person, so take their "comments" with a grain of salt.

rsilver .. this free HHilton points promo sort of evolved in an ad hoc fashion over a few months. In the end result, a husband/wife can end up with about 50,000 points in Hilton without flying or staying Hilton, and with a tiny bit of effort it becomes about 100,000 points. Sorry the threads are all scattered, but it DOES work, and despite the prickly Cactus comments above, (you can bet he, his wife and his CHILDREN won't be sending their 100,000+ points back!) the best page to look at is probably this one here as it is getting down to the tail end of the nitty gritty of the program nuances:

You need to (a) both join Hilton on line, and change your room preferences etc, and THEN join Frecuenta, and THEN sign up for the calling card.
you need THIS website to get the first 3,000 each, in minutes:

When you all look at that thread, please remember that Janejet and MolsonMiler are both Ozstamps aliases.
Keep that in mind as you read the "experiences" of JJ and MM.
