Official Frequent Flyer Guidebook
I don't remember seeing this mentioned. $14.95 and 250 clickmiles. Anybody find anything interesting in it that isn't discussed on the boards anyway?

My recommendation is: buy it (not necessarily every year, but from time to time).
Reasons: you support our FlyerTalk host and you have a lot of information at hand without having to be online and/or doing searches.

Has the Guidebook been updated to reflect any changes made to the programs for this year or does it still contain the program information as the programs were at the end of December?

Just ordered my copy, and accessed the website. Found useful info already 
FWIW, I was not aware of the guide, and even after taking a quick look at this thread, would not have ordered it were it not for Rudi's thoughtful and sincere recommendation. Thank you.

This is another reason I love Flyertalk. I did not know about this product!!! I am happy to support Randy and his efforts and this is a valuable way to do it.
My only question... This guide does not fall apart like the luggage tag, does it? I am down to my last tag... and refuse to reorder them unless they improve.

Too many times I see people being told they should have used the search area to see if a particular item was discussed in the past. If I had found it and not questioned it, some people would not have known about it to search in the first place! Sometimes it is good to bring an old topic back to the start for a fresh outlook.........and I have noticed MANY more new members recently.

fscher: I think pg did a good thing (second post of this thread) .
He invested some time to find appropiate links, then really posted the corresponding links and at the same time said/explained (for new users) that there is a search function that did it for him.
What more can you ask for?
