"The Integrity of BiddingForTravel.com"

All is right with the world; BFT Administrator Sheryl has not lost her world-class sense of irony.

The ethically-challenged Sheryl has a Post from the Administrator entitled "The Integrity of BiddingForTravel.com." By all rights, such a post should be absolutely blank, but instead Sheryl posted some drivel about banning people (as usual).

The notion that BFT has "Integrity" would cause the dead to awaken with laughter. This is, presumably, the same BFT where Sheryl asked for donations saying that she was "volunteering" her time, while in fact she was pocketing the donations and profits. The same BFT that talks about a members' "community" and that banned anyone who spoke of ways to save money by using alternatives to their bidding links. The same BFT that cynically provides links to hotels that have no chance of being Pricelined and calling such hotels "good possibilities."

Sorry, Sheryl: BiddingForTravel.com has no integrity, and anyone familiar with your business practices knows it.

Actually, I posted this same message, in a slightly edited form, on BFT. Alas, you are correct, I have been re-banned.

It would have been refreshing if Sheryl had actually responded to the comments, which are the same comments that I have made in the past.

I do notice that she still links to properties such as The IC Amstel, referring to them as properties that are "possible" Priceline hotels. Ho-ho.

Sheryl continues to decline to discuss these ethical questions, even though she is a member of FlyerTalk. Until she provides some sort of valid explanation, I will continue to consider "The Integrity of BiddingForTravel.com" to be about the equal of the Integrity of the Rolex watch ads that populate my Spam mailbox.

Or even better, The Integrity of Room-Temperature Sushi

I thought it was the "Integrity of 6 slices of sushi from one roll versus 5 slices." We'll have to ask Connie Wong.

I do not believe she participates in FT anymore. Her profile says it has been almost 2 years since she logged in.

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/members/sheryl.html

Of course, I am sure she still reads this thread....

Amen for this thread. The couple times I posted some great hotwire/priceline bids on there all she responded with was some comment with a rude undertone to please use some link of hers to book through priceline and hotwire. Well, at first I was nice and did try to cut her a break and use the link she provided to book my PL and Hotwire. However, I could NEVER get that link to work.

So, sorry Sheryl. You are SOL with me you wench.

I've found a far more superior site (that grows better each day as more people post on it). It is www.betterbidding.com. It also doesn't look like a 3rd grader set up the site and it has about half the attitude as an 8th grader

I also prefer Betterbidding.com

I don't remember if I was banned or not, but she kept getting all huffy because I put my denied bids in the subject line.

She's reading..

She tried to chase me down once on another board to find out WHO I was on HER board... So she could ban me!

Sadly, she's become a comedy of sorts in the internet world (Seriously, she's got to be one of the best known out there... all types of travel boards talk about her!)

She is definately reading the thread on FT.

One time I reported on FT that I was banned on BFT and said nothing more, the next day I received a nasty email from her calling me names.
