Coupon Collection allows FTers to exchange or give away travel related items. SWUs, miles, upgrade certs, etc.. To gain access to CC, you need to have been a member for 90 days, and have posted 90 times. Just remember, don't post pad just so you can access FT..
Good luck!

No, there is no lifetime guarantee. This forum is regarded as a privilege and because of that we do keep an eye on members who may seek to abuse that privilege. Some members cheat on the posting requirements to get there and are quickly booted out, some think that the forum is akin to eBay and they are booted out and others don't keep a respectable balance of travel-related posts outside that forum and they are booted out. And it doesn't matter when you started. For most members, even though they have been here since 1998, if it comes, it comes, but not that big a deal -- the topics of miles, points and travel remain the real value on FT.
Hope this helps. Cheers.

Thanks for the great explanation, when I first heard of it I wondered about it.
I'll take my time, answering or asking when the spirit moves me and gather all sorts of quality, informed information as I go. I've truly loved this site and the magazine...it has changed the way I think of FF and my husband (the
BIS guy) is great full for all the tips. (He thinks I figure out them all on my own -
) Randy, you will be missed, but your future is bright and the path wide with adventure........THANK YOU!

I,m here at #56... found it interesting to scroll through the thread and see how many people are still under 100 after posting here as long ago as 2004 or 2005... found it even more interesting to see how many folks skyrocketed into the four- or five-digit posts category in less than a year!
Our travel habits are expected to be changing a lot over the next few months... hopefully that will mean even more FT for us! (where's the crossed-fingers smiley?)
