Let's make sure you understand that I don't endorse MileSpy in a way a few posters on this thread seem to think. I found it to be interesting and something for the masses and we reported on it in MilesLink - a week after we reported the same story for free use of the information. Because we tell you about what's going on out there does not mean we "endorse it." I don't think than Dan Rather feels he "endorses" the war in Afganistan when he reports on it in the evening news. I found the program interesting and did decide to use it myself, a simple reason why - I didn't have the personal time to do the paperwork myself. I knew about it and certainly knew the bottom line cost but it's my available time for such things that comes with a premium. Nothing more.</font>
Randy -

This text pulled directly from milespy.com may explain why it has been stated that you "endorse" this site.

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> Our strategy for low-cost air travel is:

In accordance with the rules of all the participating frequent flyer programs

Founded by recognized experts for their mileage program knowledge

Endorsed by frequent-flyer expert Randy Petersen of Inside Flyer magazine
</font>
If I were only going to the MILESPY website (which I suspect many people would be doing who were referred by the Ebay charity sale), I would take this that you had personally endorsed their undertakings.

I realize this was probably not your intent (to "endorse" their offering simply by mentioning it in MilesLink), but nonetheless I can see why some are confused.
