I do pop onto the website when I see something interesting. I have just bookmarked on my latest computer. Thanks for the update.

It's great

I get 2 or 3 emails a day with lots of useful information. I can't make use of all of it, but it saved me a few quid here and there.

Ticking over OK I think!

There is a big relaunch next week, as it happens. It involves going offline for a couple of days next Monday and Tuesday, but if all goes to plan it will look 'proper' when it re-emerges!

I spend less time on FT every day, purely because I get the Daily Digest emails from Raffles, which are of a very high standard. He manages to condense a lot of noise from FT/other sites into something coherent which I enjoy. Keep up the good work ^

I get my information on Facebook most mornings. Interesting updates which I look forwards to.

Fantastic Blog! Keep up the great work.

I would love to know how many MR / Avios you've made on referrals from it?

Enough to warrant the time you spend keeping us all informed I hope!

I use RSS and Google Reader to follow the blog, and it has been brilliant, especially as I often miss stuff on FT.
Its also very useful to be able to find an old post easily and send the link to a friend rather than having to compose a short guide after digging through posts using the FT search!

Essential reading IMHO and I've benefited from Raffles' great tip-offs - including the fee-free Priority Club Black card and the great Amex Le Creuset error!
Thanks Raffles ^
