Absolutely agree, Ralf's contribution to the community helped a lot of people earn a lot of miles, but it was a genuine promo, not a mistake and not a loophole, it was a promo that created quite a bit of revenue </font>
I agree the end result has probably been good overall ScottC. I would regard it as a loophole in essence, as unless Ralf happened to have seen it on the BELGIUM website, which was the main target group few would have known. The Swiss site had it up (in German) for a while as Rudi knows, but it disappeared early year. I do not believe it was on any other local site and most certainly not on the Netherlands main site AFAIK.

In short I feel most here who obtained the offer were NOT remotely whom the airline was trying/interested in targeting with the very narrow localised promo. Still, a legal "loophole" that many here took advantage of nonetheless.

And yes, agree with Rudi, that ralfkrippner is one of the few persons alive who understands how the FD scheme works, and that includes the bulk of their employees. Without his ready assistance most would still be scratching their heads in confusion.
