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

Dan said by DDS Jerusalem that he doesn't sell points... I imagine he's booked stuff for friends and charged in some cases

Lucky probably used points.  A lot easier to use points for the Apt than the Res.

I see tiffany claims in the comments that they are flying on miles, so you are probably right

Of course. No kuntz to that though. He's not into MS/churning which is where the fun is.

Don't travel bloggers get free vacations?
I remember reading that somewhere.

Is that only in coach? Or am I completely wrong about free vacations?
Doesn't make sense to me that the big points bloggers are still paying for airline tickets.

Lucky seems to pull off free vacations relatively often, but that's more the exception than the rule.

He paid 32 thousand$ for the flight
Am I the only one who wants to vomit after seeing this:


What exactly is this advertising anyway?
Can't really see it going viral. What's the hook if it's not attainable for free?

I do love the irony that his bag got lost on $33K F ticket the same as ours got lost on a $300 J ticket...epic fail on EYs part.
