/history lesson mode on/ The original Frontier airlines, which was also based in Denver operated from 1950-1986. It was acquired by People Express in 1985, and the failed merger sent both airlines into bankruptcy in 1986. Continental acquired both of the airlines in 1987, and operated a hub in DEN which it scaled back and closed after its own 1991 bankruptcy. Sensing opportunity, the former execs of Frontier reopened the airline under the same name with of course a hub at DEN…/end history lesson/
-Frontier flies to many Mexican destinations, and is the only US based LCC to fly to Canada or Alaska.

Correction-Now It’s Even Easier To Earn A Raffle Entry!
As outlined below there are 3 ways of earning a raffle entry, however I incorrectly stated that for ebay you need to place a winning bid; you actually only need to register via the ebay link on the right and place any bid, it doesnt have to be a winning bid!
The other 2 ways remain the same: Register through the links above, and order at least 1 free photo from shutterfly or snapfish (snapfish even ships the free photo for free with the code above!)
Good luck!
Getting Out Of A Cell-Phone Contract?
Post #2/2
From my inbox:
“Do you know of any ways to cancel a cell-phone without paying $200?”
There are a couple of ways.
1. If your provider ever changes any terms or adds any fees you have the right to opt out of your contract for free, however you cant just continue using the service like when your contract ends regularly, you must actually cancel the service. Look for the fine print hidden in your monthly bills for these kinds of notices. Depending on your provider you’ll have 30-60 days from getting the bill to cancel for free.
2. You are always allowed to transfer a contract to someone else with no penalty, and you’ll be totally off the hook for any future bills.
Cell Trade has a service that arranges transfers of liability to another party, you offer your current plan and phone for a cheap price, or free, and the buyer gets a plan with a shorter contract that normally would be required. The cost for sellers is $20 and you only pay if you find a buyer that your satisfied with! Cell Trade doesn’t charge anything for buyers. You can even keep your old number, and get the buyer a new number when you do the transfer!
The last time I wrote about Cell Trade a few readers emailed me that they completed the transfer, so it’s tried and tested!

How To Be Invited To Upgrade Your Blog To Blogger Beta!
A few weeks ago I posted about Blogger Beta, (and in the process created a small uproar by implicating that i had a new blogger beta password protected blog where i post the real deals that i cant post here…)
While anyone can start a new beta blog, the ability to upgrade your blog is by invitation only, but i figured out how to get an invitation!
Step 1: Make sure your regular blog is associated with your gmail email address.
Step 2: Create a beta blogger account and beta blog using your gmail account info.
Step 3: Login to your regular blogger account after a day or so and on the dashboard page will be a blue blogger beta invitation box!
Regular Blogger Login: blogger.com
Beta Blogger Login: beta.blogger.com
How To Locate Old Ctownbochur.com Deals!
If you’ll notice there’s this little search box in the top left-hand corner of this site, just type in whatever topic that you would like to find a deal about, click “search this blog” and it will search this site for you!
Also in the right sidebar is a nifty little drop-down archive box where you can whittle your hours away reading classic ctowndeals from the past 2 years, plenty of which can still help you today. (However please dont post a comment on a deal from December 2004 or even 2 weeks ago, trust me, no one will read it or respond to it, however feel free to comment about an older deal under a current post where people will see it!)
