I think the site is most likely useful for someone who is just getting into the FF game. $97 to get up to speed in short shift doesn't sound like the worst deal in the world. Having been on FT since July 1999 and been a serious traveller long before that, I doubt it would offer me much. But I would consider pointing new flyers in its direction.

FCF promised a weekly free newsletter. I have not seen one for more than a month. Anyone know if they are still in business? I had thought of signing up but could not get by all their self promotion to find any news.

Paid for 2 years and have had nothing but trouble even getting my issues eith by e-mail or snail mail. Finally called and asked for a refund after 10 other phone calls and an equal number of e-mails to remedy the situation.
Also, everytime I called I would ask for the same person I had spoken with before...response was "oh, they don;t work here any longer" VERY curious don't you think!!

I have checked out the site and signed up for free emails. The emails give you some info, but very general.
The $97 is way to steep for what he offers and, if you are a road warrior, you already know a lot of things this guy is selling. I consider I know more.
PLUS, he has NOTHING for Latin America and the Caribbean. To me he's worthless!!!!

Do not sit in the back.

I purchased this subscription and have found it helpful, some new ideas. Because of being a travel coordinator some of the ideas have come in handy because of the divercity of my clients.
The owner phoned me up to see how I was enjoying his monthly newsletters. He also gave me flyertalk.com as another great place to find travel info.
If anyone would like to see one of the paid monthly newsletters just to check it out I will forward it to you.

I am always suspicious when someone shows up with some tiny number of posts to say they have discovered a new site - in every case I know of, diligent Flyertalkers have tracked the origin to an operator of the site.
After all, if someone cares enough to have discovered a new FF site, how can someone so diligent only have two(2) posts on FT, which is by far the central clearing house for FF information?</font>

I've found it useful, in the sense of giving useful tips for saving money on still expensive fares. For example, it's pointed out that SQ's first class fares, for a superior product, to Amsterdam and Frankfurt, from NYC, are much cheaper than the US/European airlines. Is it worth $99? I've saved multi-thousands on its tips that I suspect I would have otherwise missed.
