Anyone ever hear of Passport Premiere? Is it legit?

contecsa

What type of service is if?

Already under discussion here
And the general advice seems to be: avoid!

Looks like a really shady group. Google is your friend and I would not risk a dime with these scam artist. To many red flags. positive reviews are first time/one time posters. Los of credible negative posts. Nothing that would give me confidence to waste 300 to 400 bucks. several lawsuits etc. Again check the threads and Google.

I've used it for many years, and before they added the Monitor service. It works well but best results are for international, they don't handle domestic , Mexico, Canada, etc....

I actually was directed to them from Flyertalk if I recall correctly. I did a search and the l think this is the thread that directed me to Premiere

Club Caters To Travelers Who Want Style, Not Sticker Shock


From what I understand, there is a heavy influence of former AA folks in charge now that enables excellent "access"with One World.

Not to ruffle any feathers as I am not a "power user " of FT. Only use as travel requires. You are mentioning low post counts, but you have had your account for 15 years and have only managed 200+ posts since '98? I am not much better which I admit, but I am not bashing anyone or anything either....

I've used Fastport Passport.
I used it last December.
It took 2 days.

I just received the following solicitation to an email address that I use ONLY for AA (and now US Airways as well):

Since the message is specifically targeted to AA customers, it feels like this must be related to the FFP merger and / or a data breach somewhere. What do you think? Anyone else get this?

You have an email address specifically for AA communications?? How many email addresses do you have, and how could that possibly be worth whatever purpose it serves?

They all funnel back to one master account. For example, [email protected] (that's not my real domain of course). No extra cost or time involved, but it lets me know who has sold / lost my personal information.

Oh, this has been a very worthwhile process and I do it too. Any messages to a non-existing username gets redirected to a generic account. Each vendor is assigned it's own username. This allows me to monitor who's selling addresses or being hacked or various other possibilities. It has also caused issues in that some processes invalidate addresses (i.e. Marriott and Yahoo invalidate addresses that have their name in them even though it's the username part that they do not own. Email spam is out of hand these days.

Like others, I give every company a unique email address, and I must have given out several hundred by now. I have had my own domain for many years, which makes this trivially easy to do.

It's always depressing to receive SPAM sent to a custom email address that I've given out to a company, because this strongly suggests to me that the company has either been hacked or (even worse) that the company is complicit in the SPAM by having given/sold my address to the spammers. I'm no longer surprised, however, because it happens all the time.

As a data point, I have consolidated my AA and US email addresses, but I have not (yet) received the SPAM reported by the OP. I appreciate the heads up, however, and I'll be on the lookout for it.

My email address is relatively new. It was only after I registered this address with AA and booked a Business Class itinerary on it did I start getting the same exact spam.

For what it's worth, spammers also spam generated email addresses. I realize it seems like this case is more than that.

I've been getting spam from them ever since I joined the AA programme.

I've received a few of these Passport Premiere emails
