		<description>Mark,

Thanks for posting your thoughts on Yapta&#039;s new Frequent Flier Award Seat Alert Service.  We really appreciate hearing your criticisms &amp; suggestions for the product. However, I wanted to address the one comment speculating that Yapta gets a commission if travelers &quot;pay the cash fare by clicking through the site.&quot;  In actuality, nothing could be further from the truth.  Yapta&#039;s primary revenue streams are on-site advertising and it&#039;s Premium Service offering.  (For $15, if you want Yapta&#039;s Premium Service team to handle the airline call to secure your travel credit, we will.) In the future, if you ever have any questions about the service, please do feel free to contact me.  I&#039;d be happy to assist. 

Thanks again - and keep up the great work.  

Best,
Jeff
