I love threads like these! I have to agree with all the comments about spending all my time researching, BOA thinks my job must pay me in dollar coins, my friends think I'm crazy/are envious/ask for help (which I love to give!)
I've only been at this for about 2 years and I only discovered FT a little more than a year ago, since then I've spent A LOT of time researching! Some of my redemptions (I need to get better at the hotel redemptions!):
2 RT tickets to London/Paris for myself and my mom - VDB vouchers (pre-FT)
2 RT tickets to JNB - VDB vouchers
Several tickets to MEM on VDB vouchers
3 RT tickets in Z on VA to MEL - 450,000 Delta miles
6 nights Sheraton Port Douglas 4,000 SPG +$40 / night
2 RT tickets to LAX - 2 SW award seats (pre-RR 2.0)
2 RT tickets to LIM-SCL-IPC 80,000 BA miles
Nothing can compare to the memories I have from these trips! So many thanks to the posts and threads and folks that have helped me! My trip to OZ on VA is 12/20 and I can't wait! Couldn't have done that one without the help of FT!
