Coupon Connection
In the recently closed thread/contest for FLY3s (thanks, Wrigleyville), moderator Plato90 wrote:

Copied to Coupon Connection, as all such giveaways, trades, etc... are to be posted in that forum.

At least one user beside me couldn't get there. Can someone please post more info about this, even though the FLY3s are gone?
Thanks.

You must be on FT for a certain amount of time before being able to access coupon connection. It used to be 100 posts, but I think it's a time thing now, about a month IIRC.
I believe the main reason is to establish some history and/or credibility before allowing people to trade things.
Cheers.

I'd be appreciative if someone knows the exact qualifications.

I don't think the exact requirements are posted, because last time the exact requirements were posted a number of people abused it badly and posted just to meet the requirements.
You have to be around for a while, and have to post some to. So participate here, and someday not too far off, if you are contributing, you'll be able to see the forum in the list.

I agree with 925.
Quite a few registrations have been suspended/canceled over the last few months when it becomes obvious they are posting fluff so they can qualify for the forums requiring a certain "tenure" for access.

I really like the way Randy runs our FT community. He's very responsive and keeps FTers in his mind. Though it might not be fair to those very experiences frequently flyers who just "discover" FT so very recently. However, I must say, giving the reputation of FT over the years, how come you would find FT this late!!
