We ponder the ethics of bloggers accepting free stuff, learn more about the 50k Citigold promo, Delta continues its “lets fleece our passengers” practices, ANA Devaluing again way too soon, get all stylish with Chanel Airlines, we agree with the types of annoying travelers, enjoy cocktails with a view, shake our heads looking at the stuff on the TSA Instagram page, go drink at awesome beer gardens, and shake our heads with porn search terms by country.

Personal Finance Digest wonders if bloggers should accept free stuff. I think it was fairly well balanced. I give the full timers more slack, they deserve it. Well, in my case, I would like to be in a position to be offered some free stuff in the first place lol.
Doctor of Credit elaborates on the checking account Citigold promo, FAQ’s and everything.
The Free-quent Flyer goes off on Delta and how it operates abuses passengers who don’t know any better. “This is the kind of miserable nickel-and-diming that it would be nice to believe Delta was capable of rising above.”. TBB says: Lol “How many people have to call in to redeem these vouchers and don’t think to ask how the phone agent arrives at the final price?” – TBB says: All of them except us, more $$$ for the Delta executives, it is not about YOU. Love taking shots at Delta<——Full Disclosure!

Well, that didn’t take long…ANA is already devaluing their recently devalued awards. Seriously? When is this going to end? I think these guys are using a fax or something when booking awards…WTF! Devaluation is very small but still.
National Airlines to offer flights from Windsor to Orlando. Wow, really? I guess having more choices does not hurt. Anyone fly this airline?
I present to you Chanel Airlines Terminal. Boom!
Great post at Travel & Leisure about the types of annoying traveler. Hey, we all know about “the Nazi Scheduler, “Chatty Cathy”, the “Security Line Staller” and more! Lol
Another great AFAR list, Get High: Our favorite cocktails with a view
24 interesting facts about the world’s least known countries. Fascinating. Stuff such as “Nauru has the most overweight population in the world with over 95% of its population overweight. Incidentally, it doesn’t have a McDonald’s…“. WTF Nauru people!
TSA’s Instagram page is a riot. Who are these idiots who tried to carry THAT onto the plane? Sometimes I wonder about humanity…
The most iconic landmarks in every state
The personal finance piece of the day is this chart. Nothing else. Relax.

First!
Sam says
I would have been first but those “beurette” videos took a long time to go through.
AZTravelGuy says
And novinhas?
bluecat says
I’m sorry, but “wife”? I’m flummoxed with that one.
AZTravelGuy says
and I’m amused the Ruskies are keeping the stereotype alive. There’s a reason there are “Russian” sections of red light districts in Europe…
TravelBloggerBuzz says
I had no idea what beurette and novinhas meant…I know now, thanks Google 🙂
TBBFan says
Here is the public offer for the 75k citi Hilton HHonors Visa Signature Card.

New benefit for Amex Plat holders, Hilton Hhonors gold status. Also, looks like Amex Plat reimbursements of gift cards are finally kicking in as of 9/27 and that it was a possible glitch.
TravelBloggerBuzz says
Those two have been already slotted for tomorrow’s blog post.
But I am getting beat up on “compliance” BS…and this is just getting to me now.
BC says
Nauru is so overweight since the island is so poor and remote, it’s impossible for people there to eat fresh food. Plus, the terrain on the island is rough and growing food at a larger scale is nearly impossible.
Basically, everything’s preserved and imported. Something to be learned if one wants to lose weight by this example.
TravelBloggerBuzz says
Good points
bluecat says
Is the “persona finance chart” a joke (in that it never actually tells you number of times there are corrections)? Just making sure I’ve still got’s it. Or something.
TravelBloggerBuzz says
Not a joke…as most things here are lol
bluecat says
What?! Then I don’t understand….. How can “the number of times per calendar year” equal “94%”??
Who’s running the econ department at Yahoo Finance (and at TBB)?
TravelBloggerBuzz says
Obviously “number of times” is wrong. Nobody is running anything at TBB lol. Over at Yahoo…if they can keep YahooMail functioning for a change that would be good!
bluecat says
I give up. Still makes absolutely no sense.
Must be a chart from Al Franken’s book, the one called “Lies….” where people make up shit (or get HIGHLY selective), put it in a chart, and then pass it along as evidence of something.
Sorry, TBB, but in this analogy, you are “fox news”
Enrico and Friends says
The most searched PORN term on Egypt, Spain and Poland is MOM? WTF!!! That there is just plain strange, no gross…………………..Speaking of Porn, I am investing in the first virtual reality headset system that completely immerses you inside virtual world of sex. Who cares if you have to wear funny goggles to get it on. Forget virtual reality system gaming, put me in the virtual reality porno with a young Pamela Anderson, please.
TravelBloggerBuzz says
Like
ABC says
I have been looking for that headset since the early 90s.
TravelBloggerBuzz says
Me too, yes! Now that is something I will pump here (pun intended lol).
Mike says
Hey this is me, strangely my posts from the last couple of days didn’t show up. They were forgettable but just to let you know still here and appreciating your blogging !
Thanks for the link TBBFan, good work.

I am scared to look into the Spam folder, maybe they are there, sorry. Or hit refresh button, maybe that’s it.
