Dans Concierge
« on: August 15, 2011, 01:25:06 PM »
I wanted to find out more about Dans Concierge service. Has anyone used it before ? What service does he provide ? How much does it cost. I am planning a trip sometime around Feb-Apr 2012 to Hawaii and would like advice as far as what to do/see and help booking mileage tix as so far I am having trouble finding dates that are available. Is this the type of service that he provides ?

I guess people are afraid to answer :D

Dans gives a lot of good info for free, so I'd assume that for pay it must be good value.

Dan - Is there a Dan's Concierge ? I have seen it mentioned but only vaguely and I emailed you and got no response.

Not really doing it anymore unless you really harass me in my inbox ;)
Us jews are just too darn hard to deal with...you wouldn't even believe the stories if I told you!

I spent 100+ hours working with some clients.  I abhor "by the hour" services and tried to price a fair flat rate, but people took advantage of what I was offering and I had a hard time making it work.

I'd love to hear some....
I can't go into details, it wouldn't be right.  But when you book an entire trip and then need to change everything 15 times before cancelling completely and expecting free services again in the future... :P

If Dans not doing it you can try someone else, like www.bookyouraward.com or some other sites. Never used them though. Seems to be about $100 a ticket.

They only help book the award ticket. Read enough here and you can do it yourself.
The when/where/how to stay/do/see perfectly planned out IMO is the value of a Concierge.

+1, and how to do all of that in the time allotted at the best possible prices, etc.
