Get 150 Starwood SPG points by updating three security questions in your profile when you login to your SPG account HERE. You should do this anyway as so many hotel companies have been hacked. You can read a bit more at Loyalty Lobby.
As most of you know I use RoboForm [AFFILIATE LINK] to keep track of my passwords, one click form fill in and much more, including a feature titled “SafeNotes” where I keep track of stuff like answers to security questions. I swear if RoboForm had not been invented there is no way I can be as productive as I am online and would not have won so many prizes or sweepstakes. It is an awesome product!
Nice summary of all the current major hotel promotions.
If you are into buying Broadway tickets, the post at The Free-quent Flyer will be helpful to you.

Why I fucking hate unicorns and the culture they breed. Nothing about travel at all. But an excellent read about startups!
Millenials: How to Become a 401(k) Millionaire. It just takes time and money and, ummm, you know, discipline!
Wanderlusty is having some really cool travel trip reports. Pure travel stuff. Here he is taking a dip in a sulfur bath in Tbilisi. Also excellent tips on how these thermal bath type places work.
MiGs, Stars & Magic Books: A Brief History of Trespassing in Moscow. Great post at The Bohemian Blog.
Here is where the first TBB Seminar will be held. I bet we will laugh a lot. And order in with my Chase Sapphire Preferred card of course lol. Motto is: “Taking Your Miles & Points Higher” woohoo!
After complying to a request I am trying to figure out a way to keep this baby going and keeping the credit cards as just one pays an entire month of Amazon revenue. But there is a limit to the BS I put up with for this privilege. It’s a whole different story when you run a commercial site and pump affiliate links to death 24/7! Sometimes I wish I get kicked out and then maybe the old TBB comes back and writes the mother of all rants #goodoldtimes This is developing, trying to figure it all out and keeping everything under control as real life gets in the way. Thanks for the support.
I am too tired to look for a funny pic or gif so here is a lovely scene while I was roaming the streets of Madrid some years ago…

TBBFan brings you the plastic developments In the TBB comments. Not sure for how long but here it is, enjoy!

The eternal question in The Hobby: If you want to travel, should you go for points and miles or for cashback?

Best Hyatt public offer now adds a stay requirement, how interesting.

But what if Roboform gets hacked ? That’s what I wonder about all these password storage sites and apps and so forth.
Are you talking about real Unicorns or is that some buzzword term used in the modren business world ? OK I didn’t read the article yet, but I wanted to post my thoughts and click it through before this post vanishes. You know the funny thing is that when I want to post a second comment the same day, it often doesn’t go through. Probably need to refresh page ?

Thanks TBBFan.
TBB seminar, wooohoo ! ! ! https://nchiiwat.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/dont-forget-to-bring-a-towel-towelie.jpg
Loved Madrid ! ! ! Would have, ummm, spent some time with the “hostel” front desk girl but the young woman in London was keeping me on the phone about 8 hours per night. Oh well.
Last Pass (which gets all the media PR) got hacked…I sleep very well with Robo Form, these guys are REALLY good. All I need to remember is ONE (master) password, it is just amazing to me that many people never heard of it!
Unicorns is a buzzword…about crap that can’t last!
Not sure why the second comment has issues. When in doubt, “reboot the machine” works well. Or hit refresh in your case 🙂
Got an email asking for tickets to the TBB Seminar…funny guy…asking if the ticket price is too high lol.
8 hours. On the phone, wow! Sounds like a job man, you could have just burned some British Airways Avios to fly her round trip. Or fly her on Ryan Air if you wanted to break up with her 🙂
Your password is the key. If Roboform is hacked and your data leak out, only a key can decrypt it. Keep your password complex is the simple technique. At the minimum this will buy you enough time.
TBB seminar shall be on Dec 4 as it is the last day of Chase Sapphire First Friday. This way I not only reserve but also buy dinner and get the amazing 3 points for a dollar. Granted my Sapphire is due to be canceled soon, this will be the climax.
Hi there, just wanted to thank you for the mention here! I really appreciate it, and also enjoyed checking out some of these other links.
Best wishes,
