**Ocn Vw 1K** · Jun 6, 12 until Jun 30, 13

Please do not offer or seek miles, awards, upgrades, elite status or any other certificates or coupons in the United Mileage Plus Forum.

As specified in the FlyerTalk Rules and Guidelines http://flyertalk.com/help/rules.php#q71 "Posts containing promotional messages for commercial products or services - including but not limited to ... solicitations to donate miles or points are prohibited and will be removed. FlyerTalk is not a marketplace and nothing is to be offered for sale or conditioned on an exchange of money or barter." (Emp. added.) This policy also includes "free" offers, where no compensation is sought.

We also remind members that using the FT Private Messaging system or email to make solicitation requests/offers is also a serious violation.

Abuse of Private Messaging and FT E-mails - link to this guideline

"Flyertalk's private messaging and e-mails obtained through FlyerTalk while "private", still fall under the rules established here. They should not be used for commercial purposes, to send spam, to solicit cash payments for travel awards and points, or to threaten or harass members, moderators or administrators. Members who use them to circumvent the rules of the community will be subject to disciplinary action. If you receive this type of communication, report it immediately. Do not publish it on the board."

In support of this policy, any posts in the United Mileage Plus Forum which make such offers or requests will be immediately deleted. Please use the "report bad post" icon located in the lower left corner of every post if you see such.

Members may post occasional offers to give away without charge to other FlyerTalk members, save for actual postage or shipping costs, souvenir or logo items of the members’ personal property related to United Airlines or Continental Airlines. These include items such as luggage tags, playing cards, posters, mugs, ticket jackets, or other related souvenir or logo items. The moderators may limit such posts and regulate the frequency of them, including consolidating them, when in the moderators’ discretion, that is appropriate. This policy does not allow the offering through FlyerTalk of airline items described in the above paragraphs, such as vouchers, discount coupons, upgrades, miles, elite status offers, club or lounge passes, or onboard or ground food or beverage coupons.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding compliance with these policies, please contact any one of the volunteer moderators of this forum (listed below).

Thanks for your cooperation.
