Delta glitch, absolutely.

In reality I probably made/saved more money on other deals, but nothing felt as geshmak that one. The crazy hour booking, finding out that my economy tickets booked into first, then flying to Hawaii on lie-flat beds for a measly couple of dollars...

And then getting 60k miles on top of all that... simply priceless.

And I missed this most popular delta glitch deal. Was in Buenos Aires on vacation, and the few hours of the deal was when I was at the Lujan zoo.

Hope you enjoyed getting up close with the lions instead.

Yup definitely did, the baby ones were a lot more interactive, looked like they were less drugged up, so they were more fun to be with. You can read my full TR..

A few more that come to mind now.

The jetblue summer and winter specials which i added in the wiki earlier.
The 4 miles deal to HKG (at least one person benefited from that in first class on LH).
Aegean *G.
US Airways JFK-MXP-JFK on AA for about $130.
Free Hotels from Best rate guarantee.
All the free photo books from Shutterfly.
The sale on Schottenstein shas from borders (i think) and on top of that lots of free money.
And one of the best deals which most people can agree upon, is the community that was created through DDF, and all the unposted deals there.

And there were tons of Alitalia deals two years ago, including tickets to Israel for $375 roundtrip - which they didn't honor..

I'm not putting the Mint.

Not because it wasn't a great deal, but I still have back problems from lugging those around.

Was a bit difficult to unload at times too and I broke a suitcase because of the weight.
