I was quoting the question who is running ddms, so I responded as a joke that nobody is running it hence they missed a free flights deal.  Was a joke.  Hope this explains it :)  and no there weren't any free flights to Asia as far as I know

I thought the suggestion was that they were on a free flight to Asia glitch…

But the #1 was prize was basically cash anyway. They opted for even more cash over a consult with Dan? How do you value that?

Cash prizes were less. Grand prize was $8k and 20 fav was $5k.

Top prize retained a consult with Dan.

But the value of us planning a trip was much more than $10k IMO. Because Dan would have found award bookings for them, they could have hybrid their own miles and $10k for a once in a lifetime trip, but I totally understand why someone would choose cash.

My reading comprehension sucks, but I think I just read that you have a bunch of your favorite things that you can still give away to your beloved DDFers?

Woot BoC winner sent a video:



Woot also emailed him a $1,000 Amazon Gift Card!

1 hour consult with Dan is $2,000? Tempting
