Nice job Hyatt, 2,147,483,647 points for an award stay, are you serious? Or did Hyatt just hire an IHG Rewards IT guy?

Freakin Flyers posts a photo from every country she has been to, pretty cool.

“Three ways to get paid for your words:
1) Lie to people who want to be lied to, and you’ll get rich.
2) Tell the truth to those who want the truth, and you’ll make a living.
3) Tell the truth to those who want to be lied to and you’ll go broke. ”
There is an awful cost to getting a PhD that noone talks about. Hmm, very interesting.
Welcome To The World’s First Ever Beauty Pageant In 3D. Wow, hilarious and brilliant at the same time. I hope some of you are not offended. If you are, it is your problem, go read MMS. Watch the video. The winner was from Germany by the way.
I went back to America’s favorite store over the weekend to knock off some minimum spend for a new card. Sad to say that poor Kate looked so exhausted and so plastered with “Out of Order” notes all over her #sosad.
And I leave you with this…

1st! (Good morning!)
Worst news ever, time to retire from this hobby? Just devastating to SPG fans:
http://news.yahoo.com/marriott-buys-rival-hotel-chain-starwood-12-2-111619209–finance.html;_ylt=A0LEVveLxklWTEAAW9wnnIlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTByMjB0aG5zBGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDBHNlYwNzYw–
Hey, where is your pumping Titan reporting and pumping? Busy with massaging more affiliate links hey? Only TBB is out there reporting the real news, click my links LOL.
SPG buy-out not really a problem for those of us who cancelled our card years ago and are free agents.
Buzz, that PhD article … so right.
And this.
I would never recommend anyone get a PhD. Sadly there’s an overproduction.
One of the few areas left that points have some value are about to become annihilated…The Hobby is under relentless attack…#ouch
I personally feel that there will be a counter offer soon looking from the sale price angle. Let’s see.
It could happen but I am not going to bet on it.
Actually, I only bet when I am 100% sure to win 🙂
TBB is on fire on Twitter about the Marriott & SPG deal!
BreakingNews: Gamechanger: Marriott buying SPG: http://news.yahoo.com/marriott-buys-rival-hotel-chain-starwood-12-2-111619209–finance.html;_ylt=A0LEVveLxklWTEAAW9wnnIlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTByMjB0aG5zBGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDBHNlYwNzYw–
If you have either SPG card, call Amex pronto and complain and ask for a retention offer. If you get it, wait for it to post & then cancel and free an Amex card slot. If you never had the personal SPG Amex card go for it now for 25k SPG points. You can go for the Business SPG Amex card again if you never had it in the past 12 months. RIP SPG.

Boner alert. CSP delivers as usual.
Always!
Hm, kind of glad I skipped on the SPG card in August. I wonder how this is going to effect the Amex Plat benefit of SPG Gold status? It should be interesting, since Hilton Gold was just recently added as a benefit.
I expect the worst and hope for crumbs 🙂
To all:
My days having credit cards here are (very) numbered.
You.Won’t.Believe.What.I.Just.Complied.With!
To anyone familiar with how these company works…when I am no longer associated with them can I reveal whatever I want, including compensation ACTUAL numbers? Is there something in the unbearably legalese papers I may have signed eons ago that prevents me for doing whatever I want AFTER I am cut off with their company?? Please give some advice if you know!
It may be coming with the perfect time after SPG’s annihilation actually….time to move on for a different hobby…maybe start training to do my first marathon or something.
Move to the UP, pick up ice fishing, and write about why you shouldn’t use TNT and bring along your dog to help find fish… 🙂
I have a client who retired up there…I could fly to NYC couple of times round trip before I can reach his place. He is into that….not sure about TNT though lol
Last and a day late, busy at work yesterday.
Don’t retire Buzz we need you.
