Questions about last year's 2x EQM promotion
1. What was the timeframe of the promotion?
2. Was it for all flyers, or was there an opt-in fee?
3. Was it for all fares?
4. Any restrictions?

You're probably better off just using the Search Function in this forum.

What would I search on??? EQM - that will turn up a very untargeted set of threads. Last year???

The questions above are fairly targeted and specific. I'd rather just have someone who knows the answers reply than search through hundreds of potential threads. Besides, this topic is one of broader interest to the board.

Excellent! Fwiw, I was too lazy to do the search myself, but have found typically that if I come back with a relatively aggressive response to the 'why don't you search on your own' posts that the poster I'm responding to will almost always get me the thread to make a point....thus saving me the extra effort of doing the search myself.

Thanks!

Roger

That is completely exploiting the point of this forum. We are here to share information, and not just take it form others out of pure laziness. You better not expect any responses in the future with his type of attitude, cause you certainly wont get any.

Same way you did. When multiple people are responding to the same question, posts get crossed "in the mail".

And instead, you spend 3x the time coming up with your "aggressive response" and wasting lots of people's time who are trying to be nice just to serve your laziness. Are you a politician by any chance?

Wow. Thanks for posting that - good to know that all of your future threads are without merit.
