Can anybody help.?? So many questions and so few answers..
1.What is a conga line?
2.What is "bump" {on a flight i know what it means but here???}
3.What is a sponser? What does it mean to give a referal?
4.I cant re-find the page for identification of air ports??
5.If I have 20k miles in united milage plus and i put it in Diners card account, and Diners says double or 4x, does that mean I would get 80k miles?? then is I put them in my Con.one pass, would i get 20k or 40k or 80k..very confusing
If any one can give some insight, it would be much appreciated..

A conga line, is when a person joins a loyalty program, and wants to obtain points by referring someone else, so they post their referral information, the next person that wants to join, uses that information, then posts his referral information, and so on and so on. Usually we don't post twice the same referral courtesy, as a courtesy to others

When a threads gets a posts, it is moved to the top of the forum. Some people bump posts, which in this case, is to bump it to the top, in case a question was unanswered, or as a reminder

The airport guide is a popup off the first page at www.flyertalk.com, down on the right side column.

When some probram lets you transfer something in and gives you a multiplier to get more points, then you can assume they will divide by that when youtransfer out. You can't take 20,000 airline miles, wash them through diners, and then cash in 4 times what you started with on another airline. Diners would go broke in a week if that happended.
