Private forum for swapping/sharing miles?

Can someone direct me (or PM me) with info on where I can swap/share, etc. miles/points. I believe there is a private forum for "seasoned" members.


Thanks.

The forum is "Coupon Connection."

You will not be able to see it until you have 180 posts and 180 days membership. Note that they frown on people making meaningless posts just to get their post count up to 180 to be allowed to partcipate.

But if you become a bit more active on the site, you should gain access fairly soon.

Interesting, but I'm not sure if this is trolling or are you serious? I guess I'll have to wait and see lol

This is no trolling or anything else.... Take a look at the FAQ`s: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/faq.p...omni_cc_access

You really need these 180 days of membership and 180 posts

He just read you the rules verbatim. Why would you think it's trolling?

The advice given is accurate as well.

For those of you who can't access, but can't wait to see what's in there, well, it's just people trading their unneeded miles/points. The rules in that forum regarding what can be traded and how it's presented are extremely strict, and people can easily get themselves removed from access if they're not followed.

Some advice - read the forum sticky with the rules before you post anything. There is little to no tolerance for not following the rules.

Don't get too excited, miles exchanges or sales are still frowned on. CC is good for trading coupons as it's name implies.

You need 180 posts AND 18 months. You still have until May according to my calculations.

They say, that a 180 days of membership are required.

EDIT: I have seen the answer already posted.

Oy, I am so close to being granted access. Are there any other subforums that require a specific number of posts to see?
