Welcome to Flyetalk,
tkurz1!
You'll find that Flyertalk has a vast amount of information and knowledge. In order to keep it all organized, the board is broken down into forums for different programs and different kinds of questions. The people most knowledgeable in each area then to frequent the boards for those areas, and folks interested in a particular program can most easily access information about that program in this way as well.
This forum, MilesBuzz, is for:
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Discussion of the latest frequent flyer program buzz...</font>
If your question is about getting the most out of your Amex, you'll want to post in the
American Express forum.
If your question is about British Airways, you'll want to post in the
British Airways forum.
If your question is about "how do I get a free companion ticket?" you might ask that question in
TravelBuzz.
Oh, and with all of the free companion certificates out from United, you might find out more about that cert in the
United forum or trade for one in
Coupon Connection.
I'm going to close this thread here, and then depending on what information you're looking for suggest that you post again in the appropriate forum.
And again, welcome!
Best regards,
Gary
