I am always amazed at how little the general public knows about genuine ways to get more miles. I think we are a small group, in comparison to the general flying public, so information shared has a limited audience (except that I do share many points with people I know.) I have benefited from what is shared, and I share with the same generosity. I have had people e-mail me with some bonus, or tip that they did not want to share publicly, and although I did not understand the rationale I respected their request. Sometimes these same "tips" showed up by someone else, and whatever the person who shared it with me worried about, I'm not sure actually happened. Each of us might have our own standards of what we would "take advantage of" and what we won't. I'd like to think that we do things with the British definition of "scheme" and not the American definition of "scheme." I have personally benefited greatly from being a member of this board. Thank you. 300K away from lifetime Platinum with AA, thanks to these boards, and something I would never have known existed.
