SPG "Special member services" stated to me that the limitation was per transfer and not per period. However, she stated to be sure I would have to check with an "American Airlines" employee.

I would be very appreciative to receive a subscription if any of you out there in flyertalk land are buying more than one subscription for the points. Can't sport the $60 right now, but would be intersted in receiving the mag. Send me an email if you would be so kind.

A $60 subscription is a mere trifle to the thousands of dollars that Randy and the members of FlyerTalk have saved me. Add to that the hundreds of hours of enjoyment I have experienced by participating here and you have the reasons that I will sign up for this offer. Of course, the 2500 Starwood points are nothing to sneeze at!

From the *woods site:

"With American Airlines, you can transfer up to 99,999 StarpointsSM into AAdvantageŽ Miles at a 1-to-1 ratio. And for every 20,000 Starpoints transferred you'll earn 5,000 bonus Starpoints, which will be automatically added to your transfer."

I assume that this means one can transfer 99,999 *points per transfer but that there are no limits on the number of transfers that can be made. Is this correct?

I asked about this before. SPG told me that it was per transfer, but that only one transfer was allowed per business day. More specifically, only one transfer in the same amount is allowed per business day. This is how they catch accidental duplications (not only by the customer or front-line rep, but in any of the multiple steps between the customer and the airline posting of transferred points). So, if you had 500,000 points to transfer, you'd have to do it over 6 days. Not a big deal in my book.

Does anyone know if "The Official Frequent Flier Guidebook" gets updated? I have the one I purchased last year...

Just ordered my subscription... a small price to pay for what this board has provided to me. And the Starpoints are a nice bonus!

Just placed an order for 40 subs. The points will push me over the 2MM lifetime miles on AA.

Started with 0 miles in my AA account (switched to AA from BA shortly after joining FT) and 23K miles in my TWA account in March of 2000 when a friend of mine found FT via the WSJ's story on Pudding Guy and forwarded it to me (he recently got FC RT. to Lihue for 2 as a wedding present so it worked out for him http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif ). He sent it to me because he knew that the home schooling curriculum I had devised for my child(ren) involved allot of world travel. Since then, thanks to FT, I have flown allot and been allot smarter about it, stayed in allot of Hiltons and reaped the benefits (150K+ in the HH account from 0 in March 2000 as I used to only stay in Marriotts), and participated in the Kellogg's(over $5K worth of food to ST Louis Food bank), valuemag's/goldpoint's(my 2 local libraries complete mag. subscription needs taken care of for at least 1 year and all points eventually awarded from GP's despite some hiccups), and now the Insideflyer/*woods promo's all thanks to info found on FT. In addition, I have been able to make my father's dream of flying on the Concord come true allot sooner than I otherwise would have been able to(used some of the GP's for BA and added my father to the household account).

It is only fitting that I achieve my original objective of lifetime AA Plat. by saying a big thanks to Randy and the FT community by subscribing to Inside Flyer, thereby doing my bit to help support FT. I am really pleased to have this (mile earning http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif )opportunity to show my gratitude. Thanks Randy and all the helpful and enthusiastic FT'ers who make FT such an enjoyable and informative place.

Thank you, above all, for the incredibly positive experience and thanks in advance for all the cheap scholastic/leisure travel.

I will order my Inside Flyer subscription later next week and I wonder how many new subscribers they will get with this promo.

To bad that I live outside of the US and will only get 6 numbers but that doesnt mean so much since I am doing this to support Randy and FT in general.

I've subscribed for years and think its a great publication - when it actually shows up. If one wants to support FlyerTalk you'd be better off just writing a check. The frequency of publication and the timeliness of delivery of Inside Flyer is a disgrace, and is really without excuse. And this has nothing to do with 9-11; it was a problem even before.

Mvic, thanks for your interesting testemonial. I would be interested in hearing morea about this world-travel "homeshcooling" curriculum!
