Welcome to MilesBuzz!
Thanks for coming by the MilesBuzz! forum. We don’t have too many rules here, but we would like to stress that the MilesBuzz forum is for the posting of information related to the latest frequent flyer and hotel program buzz.
What’s that? Well, if you think there is a miles or points offer that the entire FlyerTalk community should know about, then this is the place to post it!
Credit card questions and news of promotions belong on the Credit Card Programs forum.
Have a lot of miles and points in a bunch of programs and don’t know what to do with them all? Ask away!
Just getting started? Want to know what can work for you, don’t be shy ask here.
If you have a question about a specific airline or program, you should post in that airline or programs own forum.
Have a general travel related question that doesn’t have to do with miles or points? The TravelBuzz! forum is perfect for this.
Also, FlyerTalk now has an Idine Forum. Please post your Idine questions there.
Thanks and regards,
MilezBuzz Moderators
i can't believe we keep having the same "get off my lawn" conversation over and over again. MB is the right place for new members to come, or for existing members to ask questions relating to miles and awards generally, or specific questions that don't fit or aren't limited to a particular forum.
i do wonder, though, about the name "milesbuzz." it's not a descriptive name. i'd think that "award talk" or "miles talk" would make more sense, but maybe that's just me.
i'm a little confused that recently, all of the question topics in MB start with "advice." it's pretty obvious from the thread title that the poster is seeking advice, so adding this word to the title is redundant. it also makes the forum hard to read.
i have looked at a few of these "advice" topics and they appear to be working perfectly - people are answering the questions, and generally engaging in meaningful discussion.
if there isn't a place for people, new and existing, to ask general questions, then FT isn't a community. so what if the question has been asked thousands of times already? like i have said
before, it is far easier just to ignore a repetitive, ill-informed, or lazy question than it is to kvetch about it and struggle to make FT a gated community where only an elite group of members is allowed to post approved questions.
