I still can't understand why seatcounter (also run by a FT'ers IIRC?) doesn't get a little pro-active, and add a paypal link or something to get some bucks in for anyone who simply wants to see upgrade and award availability ... and overall bookings in the classes.

24/7 with no flakiness factor that has been there this last month.

I am sure some folks do want and love the all dancing, and all swirling extras and bells and whistles these other sites offer - but I for one sure do NOT!

That annoying thing that pops up after a half dozen searches saying you've passed the daily limit is just dumb.

I'd rather just paypal 10 bucks now and again when it assists me. I do not want to pay $50 a year for something I get free now and seldom use, but would pay $10 or so for seatcounter, the same way I always pay whatever it is to get FT free of those annoying ads!

seatcounter says after 6 tries or whatever their limit is - "go book your ticket via these neat portals and all will be cool and you'll get all the data you need" but they have no deal with ual.com so for me as I need to book there it is no use.
