I apologize to all of you: I guess they started (and do still) fight over the chocolates in Colorado Spring - sorry.

philforest: oh, of course not...i don't work for FFTL (which is ??)...maybe i didn't make it clear...i just copied and pasted that description from the webflyer product page... :)

philforest is the left field guy... tedhl is real, phil, and definitely in Hong Kong, not Colorado.

Hmmm....has anyone received their 6th edition copy of this handbook yet? I haven't and was wondering if it was just me or if we are all waiting...

No sign of it yet, MA.

I have NOT received mine either. Inside Flyer Said there was a delay by the publisher.

I'll send a quick e-mail to ask them about the book and ask them to post it here. CATMAN

It seems there is a lot of "Buzz" about the guidebook; and thank you to CATMAN for the email, I will give you all the scoop!
The Northwest/Continental alliance has put the book on delay. We wanted to make sure the latest and greatest info regarding this alliance was put into the book. We are putting the finishing touches into it and are hoping to get it out in 8-12 weeks.
Sorry for any inconvenience, but when the finished product is in your hands, you'll know why!

Thanks for getting back to us rewardplanner,
and we all anxiously await the new and even
better OFFICIAL FREQUENT FLYER GUIDEBOOK!
If YOu can please give us a heads up when it's in the mail! THanks! CATMAN

THANKS REWARDPLANNER!!! Keep us all posted.

Hello flyers... Since I'm responsible for the Official Frequent Flyer Guidebook, I thought I'd apologize for the delay. As rewardplanner noted, the several month delay from CO/NW put me into a tough call to make, complete the book and know that it wasn't complete without that Alliance, or bit the bullet. As you now know, I bought the bullet and am just now completing it. We've never charged anyone for it so nothing has been lost and if you needed some of the miles you were waiting to earn, I can fix that. Hope you all understand, but the book is coming and we think it will be a very good reference book to own.

Randy Petersen, publisher

Randy, Apology accepted. "Good things will come to those who wait". Keep up the great work. Great to hear from you !

Mike

Well if your offering the miles....

(boldly clearing his throat...)

Some of us may have arranged to buy the guide to help the "clickrewards" holiday bonus, which is of course over now.

Maybe a little bit of bonus miles for all orders that have already been placed to date? (flash to Oliver Twist asking for more).

Just a thought...

Dave

NJ David... I too purchased the new Frequent
FlyerGuidebook in the hopes of getting a few
more CLickRewards for the double point bonus
(I did not make the minimum, that's ok.) All
I am a bit concerned about is getting the poitns credited to ClickRewards.

I assume our orders are in the system so
ClickRewards will honor our orders with points.

Special for Randy: that's ok about the delay.
I appreciate that you took the extra effort
to give us the MOST up to date guide. IT's
a dollar saver and a great mile earner for me. It will be worth the wait! CATMAN

I saw some people mentioning getting ClickMiles (formerly ClickPoints) for purchasing the OFFG 6th/alliance edition at WebFlyer-- good call!

Just to clarify-- those of you who pre-ordered the book (or want to in the near future) AT WebFlyer, you will get -250- ClickMiles, not just -150-. This offer has been in effect since late October/early November 1998. You won't we rewarded these miles, however, until your credit card is charged, and your credit card won't be charged until the book is ready to ship. Hope this helps.

I called frequent flyer today and was pleasantly surprised to learn that they
were still taking orders for the OFFG with DELTA98 promotion (to receive the guide book just for the shipping and handling cost).
They also told me to expect to receive the book sometime in Februaury.
