AJK, wow! you're so mighty and big! You know what I don't know! Phew!

But I guess that was not enough for you.

What would your gain of knowing a secret and making use of it without making all other members here feel jealous?

Seems like the answer is a big zero.

You're fantastic! We all little people look on you like David on Goliath.

You achieved your goal! לחיים!
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

MS, my friend, MS.
I still can't get myself to deal with the hassle of MS if it's not for hitting a spend.
Amongst other methods ;)
There are so many "secrets" in this game. I feel like 10 DDFers know some/all of them and probably each of the bloggers and maybe a handful of FTers. For the rest of us, we have to settle for 6 week trips through Europe.

if I booked a regular room with my spg points do I automatically get upgraded to a club room?
are there special spg rooms?
