Register for the new Hyatt Double Points promotion, get a luxury travel job, travel to Nihiwatu Resort in Indonesia, check out NASA stuff, talk about South Carolina basketball, hedge funds and global population, we stay on top of the plastic pump fest infesting the blogosphere with numerous DIRECT plastic affiliate links littering every post so maybe some of us get it and hopefully keep them accountable for the demise of the hobby…yeeeeehaaaaaah…better stop, what I just meant to say is that the TBB Blog Buzz section is back on fire and more!

Thanks to BestOffersPatrol with the top five credit cards available with the links of this blog. Waiting to be bitched at and get trolls angry for my expert pumping #bitemetrolls. So, lets get the blog post party started hey!
World of Hyatt, the program formerly known as Hyatt Gold Passport, finally has a promotion with the cheesy name: Double Points for Being You. Well, thanks…I guess. Anyways, better than a hole in the head, ideally for road warriors with their companies footing the lodging bills! Earn double points April 1 – June 30, 2017 on eligible stays at Hyatt hotels worldwide and participating M life Rewards destinations, starting with your second eligible stay.
Newbies: You are being sold to by celebrity bloggers all freaking day long, WAKE UP! Or…just take a look at the BLOG BUZZ section below. But there are some commercial blogs that provide really good advice and avoid the hideous in-your-face-selling like these blogs do every day, imho always. MileCards.com is one of them. Here is a good article: 100,000 point Marriott Visa Bonus Live – How to Get $1,000+ Value.
Do I have a job for you? It pays $10,000 per month to travel the world in luxury. Plus expenses. Good luck. If you get it, take me with you, gracias! Lets see where this shows up next with no HT backlink #sooldbynowboo!
This is awesome. You can read stupid blog posts trying to sell you yet another credit card…faking their excitement and other bullshit…or you can try searching NASA’s Image and Video Library #mindblown
South Carolina made it to the Final Four. A run for the ages. I have never seen a team play so hard, felt like destiny, wow! Anyways, the coach has quite a story to tell. And here is his letter to the team fans. Some good lessons about working hard, believing, making good choices, surrounding yourself with good people, love, empathy. My hats off to them.
A timeline map of the global median age from 1960- 2060. This…
A tremendous change occurred with the industrial revolution: whereas it had taken all of human history until around 1800 for world population to reach one billion, the second billion was achieved in only 130 years (1930), the third billion in less than 30 years (1959), the fourth billion in 15 years (1974), and the fifth billion in only 13 years (1987).
I have been on record numerous times against hedge funds. You really should leave the excitement for your hobbies, not your investment portfolio. Anyways, this made me lol. Supposedly sophisticated investors seem to be susceptible to flashy hedge fund names. For the ones falling for this…maybe it is col-cry out loud 🙂
Never seen before images from North Korea.
Check out some of the pics, wow! Nihiwatu was voted the best hotel in the world by Travel + Leisure in 2016. Is this the new Maldives? Oh wait, no hotel points can be burned…meaning no credit cards can be sold #sosad.
BLOG BUZZ
This section is for advanced level hobbyists and veteran blog readers & personal rants & stuff
When I saw the Amex Hilton Surpass recent 100k Hilton points offer WITH a free weekend night, my first thought was “hey, how about current card holders too?”. Well, Charlie at Running With Miles looked at it and the answer is a disappointing no. Amex is really starting to piss me off lately…
Amazingly, there were more posts about…leggings in the blogosphere, WTF! Well, I am done puking #nomas.
Okay, here is the mega pump fest from yesterday in the pic below. Where the selling of plastic never stops. Or whatever affiliate link they can get their hands on. Talk about shaping THE blog content around how they can convert their readers and squeeze dinero out of them. While small blogs struggle to fight the good fight and then quitting or joining the enemy (looking at you…you know who you are). For some reason, I enjoy going against the mainstream. Because, deep down, I am a rebel. Bwahahahaha.
Million Mile Secrets HTing One Mile at a Time on the Iberia award sale…when it was posted here way before it appeared there. Sometimes I feel like Rodney Dangerfield, I get no respect. Don’t be sad for me…I am not!
Amazing how all these bloggers have all this material so ready to be posted when these cards are on sale and can sell themselves hey? See how they fake their excitement over and over. It never ceases to amaze me really!
I should have known this was coming when this landed in my inbox. Yeah…that’s it. Getting staying lazy over there at FTG 🙂
A reader sent me this which appeared in the Million Mile Secrets instagram page asking me if they are back together? I have no idea man! But if they are not and readers think they are still married traveling the world for free and sharing all the secrets (lol) they know…ok, I better stop, I am getting angry and that is not good, I need to haul my ass to the gym, sciatica and all!
I have now made the email subscribe pop up appear after 10 minutes instead of 4 minutes. My WordPress guy thinks I am an idiot and clearly no Titan material as almost no one will subscribe now. But at least reader HikerT will be happy. Truth is I also hate these popup shit pop up and then I have to click/exit them! For the other two issues raised in a recent comment, not looking good without changing theme stuff…We shall see.
And I leave you with this…

ho-hum number one
That Business Insider job link made me think of the “baited hook scratch off” story in Wired a few years ago (great story, you should seek it out if you haven’t read it.) I think the TBB reader demographic probably already makes >$10k/month and travels, when they want, at a price close to free on points and miles, so why exactly is that job so attractive….?
Good point. But some readers who used to read me went to work for TPG for a lot less than that so I thought this may help them. But, really, I want the winner to take me with her…because they can! Actually this could be fun for three months and then getting paid on top of it plus expenses is a fine gig for 3 months, like an extended vacation!
But…I did not apply. Required to do a 1 minute video.
Already getting some nice material for tomorrow…
“My wife gets turned on when I talk dirty to her during sex. Last week, she called me from a motel.”
Rodney Dangerfield
Lol!
Hotel Resort Nihiwatu is actually on the Northern Coast of Sumba, a once in a lifetime experience you will never forget. I especially love the warm chocolate chip cookie they give you when you check in.
Hmmm…sounds like a Doubletree 🙂
HERE IS A STORY TBB MISSED.
Staring at boobs is just one of six easy ways men can live longer
http://nypost.com/2017/03/27/staring-at-boobs-is-just-one-of-six-easy-ways-men-can-live-longer/
mind blown…
Actually do I have a deal for you all tomorrow
50% off…you won’t believe what it is!
I thought you were saving the dildo story for the weekend, no?
Absolutely that one is for the weekend!
Got another one for tomorrow..think Raiders 😉
The Sunday post is already at some epic level content already…wow!
Upon further review and analysis of the above photo of the young couple, I believe this young lady has convinced herself that she IS indeed a Bond Girl and all these photographs along with getting the personal recognition on the streets of Austin has gone to her head. This along with a long line of suitors looking to cash in on that MMS divorce settlement dough (she’s loaded fellas).
As for the bearded gentleman, my opinion is that he is trying to hide himself. Perhaps suffering from shame, yet laughing all the way to the bank at the same time.
Bond girl never…ever crossed my mind! 🙂
