  Congratulations Rob! Always great to be successful in what one really enjoys! In one of your first ever posts you mentioned how it is a ‘paying hobby’ instead of one that costs money 🙂
  Thanks for all the tips (many of the offers I would have missed otherwise!)

  From an old die-hard fan (and I’m not talking about the films, although I could see Rob as PC John McClane standing up for and defending the rights of Points Collectors worldwide), a massive thank you from me (and my family of course) for all your time, effort and support over the years. I genuinely don’t know where I would be in the miles & points collecting game without your passion, commitment and dedication and, even with these amazing figures, it still feels like a little club where only those that ‘get it’ subscribe. Those who don’t (and I’ve seen some posts), you can find something else to do while we continue to garner and benefit from what works us.
  Thank you Raffles!

  Congrats on reaching this milestone. I’ve been reading the site since the days of the old yellow design – when I was searching for some help on how to use a pile of Avios I’d collected from Lloyds credit cards. I appreciate your cold, hard analysis – as opposed to the hyperbolic style of many other (US based) points blogs which seem to be entirely about pushing credit card sign ups.

  Just to add my thanks Rob. I stumbled upon your site roughly a year ago and had no real clue about the possibilities of the points game.

  Thanks to your advice, in a couple of weeks, my wife, baby and I are flying Club World to San Francisco on BA A380 (using Amex companion voucher), spending a few days in Yosemite, before heading down the Pacific Coast Highway to LA where we fly back, again CW on the A380. Ticket cost when I booked last year would have been £7k plus.

  We’ll also be taking advantage of my newly minted Hilton HHonors Diamond status in our stays on the way, again thanks to the information on this site (status match from Accor Platinum). Thank you very much!

  Hi Rob
  Thanks for such a great site, you always answer emails no matter how trivial, and your site has helped enormously. Last summer I did not even know what Avios was – now I have a BA 2-4-1 which will take us on a much needed trip to see family in Australia ( we hope).
  Thanks again

  Christmas Eve is actually the best day of the HFP year because we are closed Christmas Day so there is little to do. We are also closed Boxing Day but of course, Christmas Day being Christmas Day, it isn’t exactly a day off!

  In 2010, I would check the BA forum of FT everyday and a certain ‘Evangelist’ called Raffles seemed to know it all! Little did I know then that a year later I would be looking at his blog everyday too. Roll forward 2016 and I must confess I probably only look at FT once a week. Congratulations!
