A lot has been written pumped about the Chase United credit card. Sadly many greedy bloggers who think of their pockets first (and not their readers) have been promoting the affiliate version of the card that screws applicants out of $50. Here is how you can get the offer WITH an extra $50 (via Doctor of Credit). I made a comment about this here that reveals my “take” on this awful practice these days.
Here is an excellent post about the Pros and Cons of each hotel rewards programs (via Travel Is Free)
Here is a way you can check to see if you have the best credit card offer (via Running With Miles). Or you can always check Mile Nerd’s Top Credit Card offers page. Or email me or ask in the comments. And for God’s sake never ever apply for seven credit cards at once if you are new to this hobby!

I thought the business etiquette piece was OK until it got to:
“Never ask for a to-go box.”
Has the US really sunk to that?! 🙂

If anyone questions the need for your blog, that piece about the extra $50 on the Chase UA card deal should dispel the question.
I’m sure all the blogs today will be telling their readers to go for the better offer. 🙂

Well, I stand corrected. Gary did mention the better UA deal last night — good for him. Although he kind of buried it. And he noted that Darius also mentioned it — more prominently. Kudos to him.
TravelBloggerBuzz says
No kudos. Thought leader my behind! I bet you that link “left” out there brought in more than my links bring all year long…so por favor, you are being too kind I think. Anyways, then he went on to reveal “routing tricks” to get to Asia using AA miles. And he was demolished in his own comments….talk about angries WOW! Anyways, it is the old same…
I am trying not to get angry and it is obviously not ignoring that blog totally…which I should but kind of hard to not know what thought leaders think ya know!
smittytabb says
Antarctica really is all that. Wonderful video.
TravelBloggerBuzz says
Yes it is. And your trip appears to be wonderful.
Would love to have you do a guest blog post about it. I am sure readers will enjoy it! No pressure.
