I agree 100% with Rudi's positions. All info. should be shared.

I personally would not take advantage of pricing errors (e.g., $24.98 DEN-FRA return)as I feel that this stealing. This is only my personal opinion and others are free to do as they wish, including posting information regarding these errors..

Acheiving status according to the published rules is perfectly acceptable. If one can qualify for LH Senator by taking FRA-ZWS twenty times for 2,700 USD so be it. If one can qualify as a 1K by flying 100 segments for 1,500 USD so be it. Both LH and UA will presumably have new loyal customers who will have to spend money to use their miles (yo upgrade, anyway) and SWU's. LH and UA do not lose money when I use a upgrade cert or a SWU. They do not give me an upgrade seat unless they couldn't sell it.
