I bought a UA lifetime club pass and now they're messing us over with that.
Never pay for anything lifetime from an airline.
Didn't you have similar issues with your Fairmont purchase?

This is true for any significant lifetime purchase from a business. If you are costing them money and not adding to their top-line, sooner or later they will figure out a way to change their end of the deal. Especially considering the person pulling the plug usually wasn't around when the business was on the receiving end.

We amicably settled after I got a lawyer involved.

Sadly, no.

Part of an amicable settlement with a (major) corporation will always be an NDC, or else it might create a greater liability for them than what the settlement was about.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I guess I can say that these are 2 of about 2 dozen DDF boards though:

FTFY
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Yep you are able to tell even without that simply by the URL of the boards.

For example the Amazon and Walmart board is board number 26

https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?board=26.0

General discussion is the default when starting off on SMF so it's number 1.

Although it's possible to delete a board after the next one was made.
