Well, something is broken.
I renewed my InsideFlyer account and I can log in there and verify that my subscription is valid until 10/2008. When I go to the flyertalk page referenced above to reclaim my subscription, and supply my IF username (same as here) and password (different from here), I get an error message that says, "We could not find an active InsideFlyer.com user account that matches the info you have provided."
