Flyertalk’s Smart Shopper calls my attention to a letter in the November issue of Conde Nast Traveler praising my award booking service.
After reading Wendy Perrin’s oft-repeated praise of frequent-flier expert Gary Leff on The Perrin Post *), contacted him regarding my upcoming European itinerary. Gary was incredible – he knew every carrier, every seat, every nuance. He handled everything, and we saved money by using our American Express points to book business-class flights.
That’s what I like to hear!
Gary: Congrats on the the ringing endorsement of your service.
Rick
Congrats!
Congrats that’s awesome.
Congrats, Gary! Folks are fortunate to find you with your encyclopedic knowledge of all the programs.
Do I remember that you charge $150 for the service? Is that per person? Mind you, I intend to continue to do my own – but you never know when I’ll get so frustrated with Starnet blocking, that I’ll throw my hands up in frustration.
HA!
I’ve been charging $150 for the first person and $100 each additional person.
But I’ve been rethinking somewhat, I think $250 for up to 2 pasengers and $100 each additional makes better sense for me.
I only charge after I have satisfied a customer with the itinerary they want and actually booked it for them.
Starnet blocking? I really relish a challenge…. 🙂
