While the majority of America is facing financial ruin due to COVID-19, business is booming for Dan and JJ Deal, thanks to their team of devoted DDFers, working day and night to keep DDMS up and running.

In a gesture of goodwill, JJ Deal promised to pay each member of the DDF community $1,000. This bold and generous promise can be viewed in the words of Mr. JJ himself, by following this link: https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=115058.msg2217752#msg2217752 Although his tongue was in his cheek when he said it, most of us assumed that this was just his Cleveland/Miami accent.

Now, however, members have reported that an extended period of time has passed and there is no sign of the checks. While DDFers recognize that the pledge was made without any legal obligation, many members of the community have relied on the pending bailout when making financial decision. Rumor has it that @CountValentine has even invested in a pallet of "Biden 2020" lawn signs, counting on JJ's check to cover the cost.

(Alternatively, many DDFers will be happy to accept Miles in lieu of cash. We know that you are rolling around in millions of Ultimate Rewards, while we can't even go to Target to do MS anymore.)

Please don't read this as a sign of disrespect. It's just that so many of us really need the money in these trying times.
