Dan appreciation thread
« on: September 21, 2014, 10:32:41 PM »
Hi all!

I'm starting this thread with the specific purpose of showing appreciation to Dan for all the work he did, does and (hopefully, thankfully) will continue to do on all things DansDeals related.

Today's post, http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/52092, about hotel award stays was yet another example of Dan taking the time to explain a topic to everyone in detail in a way that is easy for all (or most) to understand.

I understand that the website carries his name and that should be "thanks" enough, but I feel that it is important to show him that we are very appreciative of all he does.

Thank you, Dan; because of you, I now have an amazing credit score. Because of you, I have enough points and miles to take my wife on an epic vacation that neither of us could have imagined possible.
Thank you.  ;D

@MoGro17 whoever you are behind that user name you deserve full credit for this thread this souldve been opened years ago by every one of us.
Also I would like to add my appreciation to Dan for everything he does and especially for having all the information that I needed available to build a credit score from 0 to the point where I just opened 2 CC's only  4 month later thank you Dan for that and everything else you do.

+1 but dont you think that sometimes he posts things which are not really deals, only that some people should buy? I really appreciate dans work and owe  him a lot. But i think instead of posting (sometimes) non-deals he should just give a link to Amazon and eBay.

Dan likes to hear critic as well, as long its respectful and not Chutspedig.

Personally I can get annoyed sometimes from these ads/referrals as well, but I don't get why you people don't understand him. When you buy a free app, it comes with ads that annoy you right? No one is here to work for you for free and then go collect donations to feed his family.
You can say what you think when you think what you say.

I see this is going to be a really interesting thread.
But seriously how about we keep this a "thank you Dan" thread and not a "stuff I want to tell dan" thread

Thank you Dan for making this community. It's a lot more than deals for some. It's an online community to share and make friends. I as all of us really appreciate it.

Dan deserves that EVERYONE, not just the noobs and the DDMSers, to click on all his links.
It's not like he doesn't provide us all with these warm cozy forums and beautiful lengthy posts that only an expert like Dan can provide.

On that note,  I  would like to express my hakaros hatov and  thank shoprite for always having thier shelves stocked,  and being open at all hours.
Also Macy's for selling clothing them. Without them I wouldn't have any clothing to wear.
