I have been working hard on the FF mile accumulation since 1996 when my flying began to increase significantly. Got mileage earning credit cards and everything. But I have not had many occasions to use miles. We stupidly got 3 CO tickets for a vacation flight from Houston to Jacksonville FL with miles before I knew better. But since that time I have been very judicious, only redeeming some UA miles for a nice upgrade for the whole family on one segment to SFO.

Now, am planning a summer '02 vacation for all 4 of us and our ship has come in. Thanks to all of your help, ideas and suggestions, I was able to book four DL July '02 flights to Hawaii at the sky saver rate of 30K miles per ticket.

In addition, thanks to all of your help on the Hilton board, I got six nights at the Waikoloa Village using my Hilton points, most of which have been earned because of your help with special promotions.

Flight for free and room for free sounds pretty good in my book.

I'm almost getting teary eyed here...couldn't have done it without you!
