I don't understand why everyone is being so negative towards Canadian kilometers. First of all, after reading his blog post, this isn't the first time that someone posted this only. Like he mentioned in the post, its not a tricked route, simply a sweet spot in the award redemption.

Let me give you a better example. The lock I put on my lugguage is going to be weaker than if I had a safe with $10000 in it....

I know you've only been around for 2 years. RL is one of the original masterminds of the fuel dump, and many other tricks, that you have no clue about.
Thats just disrespectful towards someone who has contributed to the FT community more than your blog ever will.

... I wonder if his partner got his secrets from this secrets group ...
Bloggers should find their own matariel instead of ripping off of FT

Why would I care about people who hate me?

Everyone have a good day.

Im guessing he could give a **** whether he kills the route or not, all he is thinking about is a quick $.
This is why we cannot share these routes openly, cos you will get people swooping in who have made no effort to work out these routes and then both profit off other peoples hard work and at the same time kill the route.

There are bloggers who blog because they love this game. And bloggers who think they can make money.
Gary Leff, for example, doesn't kill deals because he loves this game and he came from this community.
This guy clearly wants to make money.
People like us who are on this forum and discussing tricks offline or meeting up across the country do it because we love it. We want to fly and see more, and we just enjoy the hobby. It's very dangerous now bloggers who don't have the same passion for the hobby are now profiting. And the content shows this.
I hope more people can tell the difference between these sites. And ultimately, the better content will come from people who love it.
... I'm so annoyed lol

Not the first time this fool's made a ballsy move ... only to redact/apologise/get defensive after we rip apart his integrity.
Best thing to do is cut off. Let him find his own tricks to share with his village people.

Therefore, the argument that password protecting doesn't work because it can be gained without screening is somewhat redundant, since the only people I see sharing are the people most vocal about the weakness of a password.
Funny thing that.
Anyways folks, I just thought I would pop my head in here and say hello to you all, since I did post something on LM with a password, but I decided to pull it and not post any more on the matter since I spoke with one of the trickster folk who conveyed the amount of pleasure he derives from this, and the amount of effort he put into working things out.
Hope it lives long and prospers.

Ahh US/LM knew the tricks discussed by the Aussie group, they just didnt care and it is all a racket. But now that it is out in the open they may have to act to contain yhe masses. ( google does a wonderful job exposing these tricks as long as they are discussed in public)
A lot of you are thinking that LM is represented by some low skilled CSR who is trying to make a decent living. Not true, LH and all alliance members affected are reporting these issues as they occur. LM didnt care !
Never underestimate your adversary if one can say it like that without prejudice. But that is another story...
What really pisses me of about some second class bloggers is all of that "Hat Tip" garbage they use
Just say it, "I stole this info from Flyertalk!!!"

LM is run by a company run by various loyalty program veterans. Just look at their bios in Linkedin. They know very well what is and isn't possible in the industry. Loopholes are OK if the fix (be it software or chart adjustments) is costlier than the damage caused. If the thousands pile on, it will be fixed double quick...
