We bring you the latest Amex & SPG Promos, have fun on Tinder Social, there is a guide for pets on a plane, bring you the latest airline screw ups, travel to beautiful places, meet robot Botlr, a good analysis about the new Ritz Carlton credit card offer, and we Buzz it up before we slow down again…
TBB Blog Mission: To Entertain. Educate. Inspire. In That Order!
There is a bonus in transferring American Express Membership Rewards points to British Airways Avios. You know, just because you may did not hear about it! I certainly do not need more Avios!
The latest SPG Hot Escapes hotel list for the next 6 weeks. So sad this will be terminated by Marriott… And you may be targeted for more SPG points with another Dashboard type offer HERE.
We have a problem. We as in the airlines! Delta System Failure Marks Wake-Up Call for Airline Industry. Meanwhile, United is pissing off its customers trying to protect them.
Here at TBB I like to bring people together. Especially travelers. So here I bring you the latest way to do this. Tinder baby! Before you get angry, it is Tinder Social. I have no idea about Tinder, all I know it is used for hook ups, dating and stuff. But this was an interesting way to meet fellow travel addicts fast. Be responsible in how to use it okay 😉
The Guide to Bringing Pets on a Plane. Awesome resource for you flying pet lovers!
Stunning 4k video in the heart of Australia.
You can’t make this stuff up, this happened…for real! Train car derails in Iowa, hits bar called DeRailed.
$12.29 Trillion of Debt, congrats Americans! And thanks to pumping bloggers who never saw a credit card that pays them they did not like, credit card debt increased by $17 Billion. Yikes. Debt-free is pure awesomeness!
Most beautiful public spaces in the world.
Meet Botlr, the robot in Silicon Valley bringing guests what they ordered in hotels. I think we are going to see more of these…Couldn’t they come up with a better name, WTF!
BLOG BUZZ
Note: This section is geared to more advanced travel hacking enthusiasts!
Best advice on whether to go for that Ritz Carlton credit card is HERE. Sadly this is not available with my links (at least not yet) so please be careful who you support! I plan to wait to see what happens with the Sapphire Reserve card…I am starting to lose track of so many airline credits 🙂
I took a closer look at the stats of my hits and the stuff in Blog Buzz gets a lot more traffic than the other eclectic links above! Hmmm…Something will have to give soon, when school starts next month. Yeah, I said that before. You know what comes next! This time is serious lol.
So I either go Blog Buzzing or I do the eclectic stuff. Doing both is getting too much…Oh decisions, decisions. What did I get myself into?
If you have something to say, say it! Like showing readers what we have to deal with these credit – card – salesmen who never stop selling<——-Weeekly Flyer=Points, Miles & Martinis.
But there is one practice that takes the cake in this plastic pimping fest. You do a post about Hyatt tricks, you sell the crap of other credit cards and you do NOT post a link for the Hyatt card because it does not pay you. See my mini rant HERE. Then my post about the dead people on planes makes it to the same blog days later…Lead this! #disgusted
At the end of the day, I am TBB. Some Titans are different than others #facepalm.
And I leave you with this…WTF! Trump will make fortune cookies great again!
Please help bloggers you appreciate & make a positive difference in your life by spreading the word about their blogs, emailing and commenting and using their few $ links, thank you!

There is no joy like that of a Mongolian girl and her camel:

That’s how I feel when a reader gets the CSP card with my links, woohoo!
NEVER check a pet! I had the displeasure of loading tons of dogs, cats birds in to the cargo hold. just don’t do it to your pets, no matter what.
Got it. I used to send my cat to a local Hotel and earned no points #sosad

last line…….
I DID see that article, scanned it quickly (as I do these days) and decided to move on….Did not notice our friend quoted 🙂
I need some help.
I want to get a RT plane ticket (with miles of course) for my friend’s daughter to visit us FROM Greece. She is 16 years old. Can I just book the ticket as I normally do? Or do I have to deal with accompanying minor fees crap? Is there a certain age it applies for international trips or does it depend by airlines?
Anyone?
For United it’s not required for 16+, on American it’s not required for 16yo and you can book online (15yo has to be called in), Delta it’s 15+, Alaska it’s optional for 13+, and I’d guess anything you’ll book will be one of those?
Thanks, we should be good I think.
OK alternate eclectic and travel buzz somehow. The thing is, if I understand this, is that there is a lot less travel buzz to blog about. It. is just a suggestion.
Or, as the interesting travel hacking info goes up, follow that and reduce eclectic content. And vice versa.
You are doing a great job.
What does it mean about how many tweets you “have”? Sorry I am not a tweeter and don’t exactly understand it. Is that your total since forever?
Thanks for the suggestions and the kind words.
I started my Twitter account almost 7 years ago. Tweet is when I say something on Twitter. That’s saying a lot lol. Yeahs, since Day 1 (created account).
Gary only came up with 21 things he loves about the Chase Sapphire Preferred card today. He must not really like that card. I can think of at least 50 without trying.
Yeah, that was disappointing, it is very clear he is slacking 🙂
