Where are the eleVAte details?!
Come on now! It's been long enough 
. In all seriousness, I really want to see the partner list, redemption options/charts, the whole nine yards. Does anyone know if they're considering a credit card? I'd love to see them pair up with Amex (especially since they're so much more 'hip' than Visa/MC 
). What's taking so long with these details?

I don't know if it will be specific benefits for founding members, or if it will be targeted promos only for founding members, or a combination of both. I think it will be a nice bonus on top of the standard program, regardless. We should see the details before summer.

Seeing as anyone who signed up in 2007 was granted founding member status, I doubt they will do to much special for founding members right off the bat. I think it will be neat in several years when, hopefully VX is still around, to show off the status.

"I think we'll see that FlyerTalk will soon be home of very relevant and first-hand information as to the status of eleVAte and that bodes well for members of FlyerTalk, in general and specifically."
Take from that what you will.

As Richard said, from Randy in the TalkBoard forum:
"I think we'll see that FlyerTalk will soon be home of very relevant and first-hand information as to the status of eleVAte and that bodes well for members of FlyerTalk, in general and specifically."
Take from that what you will.

Perhaps this first hand information was his motivation to create the new forum?

-- maybe they want to avoid an infestation of gate lice. I must admit the crowds of FF'ers who hang around pestering the GA pretending they are somehow important and are entitled to an upgrade just because they smile the right way or give a magic "speech" are really annoying. And on past flights I have been one of them....

Last I remember, this was supposed to go "live" second week of October. Now whether that means it will available to set up your account or that we'll have seats to begin using that day is a whole nother matter.... Surprising that there has been no follow-up information.
