Slotownmamma,

I appreciate that you are trying to earn a bit of money from the frequent flyer industry, and let me make clear that there is nothing wrong with that- heck, even I'm doing the same. What is not alright though (at least in my book), is starting a new thread for the sole purpose of advertising your blog and personal financial gain, especially with a deceptive title like "Free Vacation Master Plan". If you do have something to contribute, and I suspect that you do, then feel free to do so. But even then, some of these ideas aren't especially useful or indeed practical- for example, one low-tier award to a "vacation" destination is hard enough on Delta, let alone FIVE (!!) on the same flight. Furthermore, even assuming that five tickets is possible, domestic coach flights are hardly the best use of miles from a cost per mile perspective, compared to both their revenue cost and opportunity cost (the EQMs and RDMs that one would forgo by redeeming for a coach award as opposed to purchasing a revenue ticket). Yet you neglect to cover any of that, instead simply providing your own personal sponsored referral links without practical and realistic information. And on top of all that, creating a new thread for the sole purpose of a blog link- (and your previous posts suggest a good percentage of them were used to promote your blog too)? That's very tacky, and in my eyes, not on.

So please don't see this as an attack, because it's not. Instead, try to listen to what some of the others are saying, instead of spamming the forums with credit card referral links, then telling them "don't click on the thread if you don't like it" when they raise a legitimate conern.
