Pardon my ignorance/suspicion, but whose "official" guidebook? Even at a great price (i.e., free), what's in it that has such value? I'm interested if you can give me a sample of the wisdom within.

Catman has always said he was writing a book.
Maybe this is it. Probably not, though, as the OL' Tom would have surely had autographed copies for us.

from a webflyer product page...you can get to the page by clicking on the "products" link on the main www.webflyer.com page...

The Official Frequent Flyer Guidebook (OFFG) is a pocket-size reference book packed with the latest information on all of your favorite frequent travel programs AND the new 6th edition is THE ALLIANCE EDITION - covering all the recent program changes. This best-selling guidebook has quickly become a must-have companion for the serious taveler. The OFFG contains 600 pages of detailed information, including award charts on 50+ major frequent traveler programs. It explains in-depth how the different programs work and shows you how to earn more when you travel. In short, The Official Frequent Flyer Guidebook 6th Edition can answer any questions you may have about your frequent flyer programs.

Thanks TDEHL for guiding the right path for rerry.I though everyone on this website knew of OFFg.My apologies.

Is the edition being offered in the Delta newsletter the 5th or 6th edition? No use paying even $4.95 for out of date information if they are offering the 5th edition.

Mileageflyer 6th edition is being printed now.Delivery nov

MILEAGEADDICT 6th edition is being printed now.Delivery nov

Just ordered my copy. Credit card won't be billed until it ships in late October. Grand total including shipping is $4.95. It is the 6th edition.

I have the 4th edition of this book and have worn it out. This is a great publication even at full price but a fantastic deal at with the $10+ discount.

I presume you have to be a Delta ff to take advantage of this..?

WebFlyer web price is $14.99, plus shipping.
How does one get the 4.95 price from Delta?

baobab:

apparently being a delta ff member is not a requirement to order. i just ordered the book via telephone, and all she asked for was name, address, and credit card info. my delta ff number was never brought up. as long as delta doesn't compare ff member lists with the guidebook order list, you should be ok (of course if they get 10 million requests for the book when there's only, say, 8 million ff members, they may think somebody's been releasing insider secrets somewhere, but we know better, don't we?).

Thanks MC - I may well try it too...

Hey, I don't belong to the Delta FF program either. The question never came up when I placed my order.

Sorry I didnt tell everyone when i posted this.ANYONE can purchase book for $4.95 each

Also ff will not charge your card until book is shipped.DO NOT have to be Delta member for this Great offer.

Are you sure its the new edition (6th) being published in November that you will get through the Delta offer?

Mileageaddict yes per Inside Flyer.They are wiating for copies from the printer.Will ship November per a live person in Colorado Springs.

will the ship to europe? (I don't mind some addional shipping costs).

Rudi I will check for you today.How is your trip?

Rudi per Inside Flyer it will cost you $9.45
complete to Switzerland.Enjoy the rest of your RTW trip.

Rudi,

Even at $9.45, that is a terrific bargain!

thank you - I will order it from the peace of my home-working-place (actually I am hammering the dirtiest keyboard I have seen in my life at Connaught place in the heart of New Delhi).

Rudi, nice to see that you made it to India - and you're in Cannaught Place in New Delhi. If you have the time and the inclination go visit old Delhi - much more interesting and less westernized (admittedly even dirtier and more chaotic) but a better travel experience than just CP which is just hamburgers and Benetton shops these days.

It's interesting that DELTA is offering
the Official Frequent Flyer Guidebook at
such a discounted price. I thought it would
be only available EXCLUSIVELY though Inside
Flyer Publications?

Anyway I ordered a book through Inside Flyer
and will get 150 ClickPoints (or is it now
CLickMiles?)

Question for Inside Flyer: is Delta's offering the same great book that Randy and
you guys have put together in the past?

And for the record: I am writing a book but
it's not about Frequent flyer programs. I
cannot and will not compete with Randy. He's the maestro of Frequent Flyer travel. I am
FlyerTalk's comic relief! CATMAN

Someone already receive is copy?

I'm impatient to receive mine, maybe longer to receive it in Canada?

Thanks

tedhl: Your description is fantastic; but are you sure you don't work for FFTL?

No copy received here in the USA yet either. I don't think it has been released for distribution yet.

Maybe our friends at Inside Flyer can tell us here when the Official Frequent Flyer Guidebook, sixth edition is coming out.

I remember when I had problems placing my order over the Inside Flyer site that someone told me that they would be ready to ship soon. (I don't know the exact date, and I though they said several weeks but I didn't write this down.) They did say they will not
post the charge until the book comes out!

I can't wait for it! And I"m getting 250 ClickMIles for the purchase! That's shopping!
CATMAN

talked to someone at FF. They've got technical problem printing the book. Also some information was incorrect.
The book will not be ship before Christmas.

Sorry folks.

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
