No third party trades will be allowed. This can be a sign of a broker finding miles for a client.
The forum is really returning to its roots where it is intended to be for members to give and trade small items for which they have no use.

Should you learn of airlines or hotels who take offense to any of their instruments being gifted or traded, please advise the mods, Spiff and wharvey.

Did the conditions for having access to CC change when it was closed and reopened? I used to have access to it (I never traded anything there, and I don't think I ever posted anything there -- but I could). And now I can't get into it (or even see it).

Methinks you were grandfathered in previously, but don't meet the minimum post count @:-)

It will do you no good to PM either Spiff or I, we do not have the authority to grant anyone initial access to Coupon Connection.

I'd PM a mod and see if they would grant you a reprieve as Original Member.

To the best of my knowledge, the forum moderators are not able to bypass that filter or grant exceptional access. |
Thanks for the responses. It sounds like I was grandfathered in when the requirement was increased to 180 posts (I know for sure that I accessed CC in 2012 and 2013, after the change). Taking CC offline and then back online must have eliminated that grandfathering.
This is a bit frustrating -- I had CC access for years and never used it, and there's a good chance I'll want to use it later this year -- but it sounds like there's nothing the mods can do. I guess I'll need to make 60-something more posts between new and then. |

I've gotten some very thoughtful notes from those who have had access to Coupon Connection, and did not want to lose access with the new entry requirements. These are all people who had access by May 10 when Talkboard enacted the new requirements. I am very open to those. I do not want the FlyerTalk experience to change for those who were participating. But if you never had access, I am not granting waivers. Talkboard went thru a lengthy, careful consideration of the metrics to use for participation in Coupon Connection. I am honoring the limits they have imposed. SanDiego1K Community Director |

I'd check with the Community Director. Here's what she posted in 2011:

Does anybody know how long it takes to get access to CC after you reach 180 posts?

Otherwise, one should be seeing TCC in the Forums list, as indicated in the wikipost. |

I reached 180 posts. Logged in and logged out...still no TCC... How can I know my posts have been qualifying or not ? (This post feels a bit like calling the Ambassador line for my RA qualification :))

You may want to logout and login in FT.

Check your posting history. Did you make a large number of posts in a short period of time? If that's the case, you may have been flagged for post padding just to get access to CC.
The best people to ask would be the mods of that forum. |
