We bring you a MUST read guide for all you readers who happen to be under the horrendously restrictive practice known as 5/24 imposed by Chase Bank to all humans who want to rightfully continue traveling for free. Actually, there is some great info here for all interested in this quirky hobby that is becoming mainstream (grrrrrr) thanks to some blogs that do not place their readers FIRST as it is bad for sales/conversions…

I tried to stay away from you guys or maybe it was the frantic plea via email by reader IngyGroupie pleading with me for a new post so she can see her idol reader ScottCastle. I don’t know…or maybe it is the addictive nature of this TBBing blogging thingie. Or maybe it is my Alexa rankings lol! But as I was enjoying my coffee Saturday morning I came across a post that changed my mind and I just had to share it here.
So, for newbies in this quirky hobby, and even seasoned players, this post at Reddit is a MUST read! I even learned some new things! If there is one post to read today, this is IT!

You see the blog mission at the top of each post? It is about Education around here. Oh, some entertainment too so here is the funny gif you all like, especially for the blog troll!
Follow me on Twitter for some happenings from the 2017 Detroit Auto Show over the weekend. And keep warm, it is just freezing here in Michigan, brrrrr!

Second. H/t feedly
On the one hand, no Scott Castle. On the other, no troll.
A guy I used to work with used a lawyer who had lost an arm. He said the lawyer was just ok, but he hired him because he never said ‘on the other hand’.
Where is my man?
To IngyGroupie: Stay away, he is all mine! And are u serious?
George/anyone who was your favorite Beatle?
I’m listening to George Harrison on my awesome Alexa Echo, thinking this guy has so many great songs, but have much love for J.L., and Ringo is so cute. can’t decide.
Buzz please ask your pal Grant from Travel with Grant to please post more photo’s of his new writer Whitney. She looks hot! Don’t forget that MMS made millions posing his wife in a bathing suit holding up credit cards.

Not a lot of comments, but all good.
Sam, I’m sure that lawyer never used “costs a leg and an arm” neither. 😉
Hi everyone,
A perfect night at the MGM Detroit hanging out with Wolfgang Puck and another 98 Amex Platinum and Centurion cardholders in a Private event was ruined by another frustrating Detroit Lions loss. 9 straight playoff losses now…Fuck the Superbowl, just want to see a darn playoff win in my life, is that too much to ask for?
Anyways, the event was amazing! I have lots of pictures and this deserves a post when I get to it. Event included private access to the luxury auto salon in the MGM Grand Ballroom. All the luxury cars baby….Ferrari, Lamborghini, and a bunch of others. And my fav: Ford GT. Food was amazing. The desert setup was decadent! I even made a joke on twitter that TPG bought me out and I splurged on a Ferrari lol #thedream #notreally.
We are going back today for a mega brunch at the MGM and then pre access to the Auto Show floor where they are putting the finishing touches on the displays.
Monday is all day Press Day access where I hope we score some swag and checkout the models 😉
I wish i had an intern to take all these photos off my phone and place them in a draft post
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, no time for post today! See you tomorrow ScottCastle!
P.S. to ScottCastle: Don’t even think about IngyGroupie——>Damaged goods man! You are welcome!
still placeholding for ScottCastle.
As to the show:
It’s ALL about the models!
Cold and rainy in Paradise — the orchids are happy but I’m freeeeeeeeeeeeee-zing!

Love your photo with Monsieur Puck. Sounds like a great time. I am in Norway but since it’s so wired, I will be checking in on you Buzz. I am on another insane intrepid adventure. It rains in Bergen 240 days a year, so not surprisingly, it is raining. I was last here in 1986 when it was sunny.
Am I the only one who still has the Club Carlson card? Wish they would get their act together and go with no foreign transaction fees like the rest of the planet. Even Starwood finally caved on that. Staying in another wonderful Radisson Blu business class upgraded room. I am in Europe a lot, so for me the value is really there. But boy do I miss the 2 for 1 nights. In a decade no one will believe the gigs we had.
My thinking is the more devaluations and difficulties, the more it thins the herd. I will be doing this until the bitter end. I have a travel addiction. I have no choice.
100% share your last paragraph. Hopefully thinning the herd will come sooner than later.
Just like how when AA raised the cost of SE Asia first class to 110,000 and award availability spiked? Wait a minute…
Buzz-
Great that you have faith in the Lions. It must be a lonely quest:

I have posts scheduled for MOnday and Tuesday. Monday is a Buzz post and Tuesday is a post about my experience hanging out with Wolfgang Puck amidst luxury car models of all sorts. Hope it goes viral 🙂
I have the club carslon card too. Thanks for reminding me, need to charge something to generate the annual bonus…Getting really tired of the card and the brand.
I disagree about thinning the herd. I think it is going the other way. The titan TPG and MMS businesses and so many other blogs trying to become like them…only have a shot by EXPANDING THE MARKET to more newbies. I think we are in the beggining stages of this hobby becoming mainstream actually. I fear for the future and actively looking for a new hobby.
I just need to lay off TBBing for a while so I can burn some miles before they devalue more lol.
Lions suck. They have been sucking for decades. We know it, they know it.I just hope I see a playoff win in my lifetime. Forget Superbowl!
You make a very good argument. I think you convinced me. Although millennials are less likely than other generations to want credit cards. I have been trying to convince one of my sons to get his first and he is still mad at me for making him an authorized user on one of mine! But no question if the goal is selling, and it is (you should stop it too), then it will become so mainstream that all value will erode.
The CSR was THE first shot fired by banks to get Millenials to change their ways…It is starting to work 🙂
I am not selling. I am educating.Entertaining.Inspiring. In that order. Since Day one. If cc sales happen it sure helps me to keep going because Amazon sales sure do not (especially after JetBlue!) If there were no cc sales here (and it is not that many, the TPG probably sells more in an hour than this site sells in one month!)…I could not keep this baby going for so long #sadfact
So thank your for your support. You are my travel idol 🙂
