BIG Thanks to DAN!!
« on: March 21, 2010, 10:23:15 PM »
I just wanted to share my appreciation to dan and some commentors on the forum. I will now be going to Israel on points, which would not of happened if not for Dan!

Heres my story:

I started accumulating starwood points because of dansdeals and I was saving for 2 trips to Israel for me and my wife.

I had just over 100k in the summer when US Airways had the 50% bonus deal, (which I found out about on dansdeals) so I transfered 100k to US Air which resulted in 187500. I figured that it was enough to get me to Israel and on the star alliance I shouldnt have a hard time finding availability...

Sure enough I decided to go after Shavuos this year for a wedding and I started checking aeroplan, us airwarways, continental... and there was no availability... What to do? A quick message here on the forum and Dan to the rescue. He tells me how to find availability on some other star alliance carriers and sure enough I find my itinirary and called US Airways and booked it!

You dont hear this enough... THANKS DAN!

Thank you Dan.
Thank you everyone on this forums.
From my clothing (PE pants, jos a bank suits...) to my Y"T meal today.
From my HP headphones to the G3, this forums is king.
There is no other place that contains and has access to the amount of information I've gotten here. There is so much I have gained from here.
So thank you Dan! And thank you everyone else!

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I Must also say a huge thanx! I recently started using DDF and i love the way i can gain real answers from ppl that understand each other instead of googleing everything and getting 'off topic' answers. Thanx to y'all!!  I'm still trying to learn about CC and miles etc but i'm really slow at picking up but hopefully i'll get there one day with all ur help!! (sorry for annoying qs)

And sometimes a mistake or 2!! I know somebody that was learning and transferred miles to the wrong airline after getting a wrong answer ( correct answer he just asked the question the wrong way.
