Justin--I thought the same thing! I felt the gate agent was "simply confused" on which fare basis could and could not be upgraded. The letter from Delta consumer affairs states the agent was correct in not allowing the upgrade.

I went grocery shopping yesterday and I found a great deal on hamburger. 99cents a pound! Do you know that store would not upgrade me to prime rib! Can you believe that? I must spend thousands of dollars at that store each year. I am so mad. I think I will write a letter to complain.

Jeyna--I assume your latest post was aimed at me.
Did I say that I "complained" to Consumer Affairs? I simply asked if K fares were still upgradable!

Jeyna...You still don't get it!!!!!
If the store said "Spend $25,000 with us in 1998 receive coupons good for purchase of prime rib for the price of hamburger"

Where is emmett_s? I am sure he could solve this with a luggage tag.

Jaws43: Oh no! Not emmett_s!
Jeyna: Unbelievable! You are still clueless! Get a life! Maybe we should all write a letter of complaint to Randy so he can send you some brain food.

Unfortunately by previous post got cut off...
Here it is>>>
Jeyna...You still don't get it!!!!!
If the store said "Spend $25,000 with us in 1998, receive coupons good for purchase of prime rib for the price of hamburger thru 1999" ......and than after issuing the coupons says "Valid only when hamburger sells for more $10/LB"
PS>>>>If you want a good laugh check out "If airlines ran the corner deli" in "THE BUZZ"
on Flyertalk...it is relative to the hamburger discussion.

You are all clueless. It was just a joke! Jeez...And you guys are the ones who need to get a life...you spend all your time on the internet whining on this page. And who is Randy? And you know..Delta has a wonderful disclaimer in its program guide (so would the store with the $10 hamburger I am sure) that says "Delta and its program partners reserve the right to change program rules, regulations etc...at any time without notice"
And no MW Smith that was not directed at you. I just thought it was funny - apparently my humour is lost on you guys.

NOT ALL OF US ARE CLUELESS! Some of us are here to try to get information and help understand the complexities of fare rules
and award rules and getting upgrades and
basically trying to HELP EACH OTHER, MAYBE
EVEN MAKE A FEW NEW FRIENDS!
We should stick to the topic at hand
"L Fares and Upgrades" and not talk about
Hamburger... or vague stuff or overload the
posts with silly questions (emmett_s) or
crash the system (sistertodd.)
I got your joke, Jenya... but the "neighborhood deli" post was funnier.
FYI: IF I spent my life on my computer I would go blind, I won't have a job and
my cats would scratch me silly.
Apologies if this post offends anyone.
I must say many of you have really helped me
and I thank you. CATMAN

this topic here has more than 150 KiloBytes now - may be the downloading time makes you so nervous/aggressiv gentlemen.
1) do I have to buy a faster modem or some more RAM to be able to follow the discussion under this topic?
2) shouldn't we close this topic here and go on under a new title?
3) shouldn't we concentrate our forces for good guidance/help and sometimes also for "fights" against unfair mileage-shortening policies and last bt not least for some fun?

Looks like everyone wants to download the whole topic since there are 0 replies here. Or, has the "L Fare" topic gotten to the point that there is nothing else to say?

there were no more REPLIES on the original "L Fare topic" neither.
