The hits keep on coming…
You know over the years there has never been a time like this to see so many articles in mainstream media about our hobby. Like this one at Bloomberg: Can You Beat the Credit Card Rewards Programs at Their Own Game? I want to cry. And you wonder why the hits keep coming huh?
Chase Private Client Status/High Value Customers No Longer Bypass 5/24. Thank The Points Guy for selling Chase credit cards to the masses…We are not done yet.
Kiss goodbye to those Aer Lingus bargain flights from Boston to Dublin, major boo!
If you have elite status with about ten different airlines, Delta is matching it for 90 days.

Swedish ice hotel debuts rooms that stay frozen all year. You guys, I don’t know about you, but I do like my hotel room to be warm and the bed cozy you know…
Personal Finance Digest takes a look and compares online home value estimators. I always shook my head how the Zillow number has wildly fluctuated…usually up!
Mix city police, fire department and other public scanner sounds with ambient music. Yes you can do this at Youarelistening.to The result is kind of mesmerizing. Awesome background music while you work!

hello world
Just added Bloomberg article on the top of the post, don’t miss it!
I had no doubt you will claim gold again.
Oof, that article makes me feel even better that I’ve rid myself of a couple of hundred thousand points/miles in the last month. Ultimately it’s not the sign up bonuses that worry me so much as it is the availability of awards. It’s getting more and more difficult to burn the miles.
” It’s getting more and more difficult to burn the miles.”
Yes…especially AA!
I snagged two J AA awards (on AA metal) across the Atlantic during that brief period when they were loading the new PE fares a few weeks ago. I’ve already had to shorten the trip 2 days because of a commitment in the States that I can’t avoid but there was no way I was going to cancel because I’d avoided fuel surcharges on an AA award and that was a victory too big to give up
I wanted to but…I was too busy TBBing!
Getting tougher to be a first these days.
You are on a posting roll these days!
Hooray for that PFD, you are entertaining. I guess Buzz is too. 🙂
Good morning you Buzzers. Daughter’s 12th birthday — and all she wants is pizza, an iPhone 7 AND a MacBook Pro. Sigh. One out of three ain’t bad!
Buzz — the “pumping” paragraph after the mission statement is a bit jumbled this morning. Well, hell, so am I…
#TBBon
Sounds like my daughter!
I fixed the pumping paragraph, thanks. Cut and paste did not work this morning…I wonder how many conversions were missed due to this error! Ok, please don’t answer that!

Your mention of Air Lingus made me wonder……what would they call the airline if Air Lingus merged with Continental Airlines…..Air Conalingus
