There will always be two camps.

1. Those who are happy to share - quickly, any new promos or error fares, or promo points etc. (And inevitably get flamed by some users for doing so.)

2. Those who either lurk or post other than to those threads but share in the discovery nonetheless, but if asked maintain the tip should *never* have been posted anyway.

I am all for LEGAL loopholes/offers/promos/glitches being posted here on FT. I have a feeling that was one of the reasons our host created it and maintains it.

Every airline/hotel program has a bunch a "grey" or less than grey areas that regulars of those Fora discuss at FT meets, and via private email etc. Each one of us can choose to act or not act on those based on our own conscience.

Often is is not even a loophole but just creative application of the rules WHEN someone notices it. How many here have already or will soon fly Concorde roundtrip after spending $1,250 for Inside Flyer magazines? Had that thread not been posted would most of those have bothered buying them? Of course not. The airline trip of my lifetime. Some folks squawked that posting this info would see Qantas block the deal. It would not have surprised me to see it, but so far - the deal has worked for anyone who tried it.

UNITED969 could have kept quiet last month about the $59 + tax Orbitz *Error fares* from all MX gateways for Business Class fares to PVR. And booked for him and his friends instead. Instead 100s of us are now going to PVR for peanuts in style thanks to his generosity of sharing. The posting of the first "find" - fares from ORD in October quickly became clear it was from all gateways, and for all dates more or less. THAT is the strength of FT. A kernal of info gets expanded and tested in all directions.
