I have moved your post to the Mileage Run Discussion forum for further discussion, as your post does not contain an active premium fare.

Try to use the ifttt (now called if) service. It is free and works very well.

Thanks! I looked at that earlier, but there is no FT channel. Either that, or I'm clueless how ifttt works :o

I have several IFTTT recipe for the mileage run forum for various keywords (my airports interest, AA, DL, UA). Does anyone have a recipe for any/all new post for that forum?

I also found that IFTTT sometimes work instantly, but sometimes with delays.

I could never figure out how to set a keyword so i get notified on every new thread using IFTTT

How to do it by posts within a thread no idea.

Yes, that is another problem that causes me to obsessively look at the Mileage Run Deals forum 10 times a day (when I'm on my computer).

I guess I can keep coming up with relevant key words to catch more new threads, but if someone post "Works from DTW also!" within the thread and not in the title, I don't think IFTTT will inform me".

I made a bunch based on this one:

https://ifttt.com/recipes/164075-mil...un-deal-emails

You would have to edit it for your own keywords and how it notifies you.

I have not tried this but sounds like it does the same thing as mine. Push notifications when RSS feeds are updated
