We have too many experts, a guide on multiple hotel rooms points, we get updated with Merrill Lynch card Issues, an amazing story how someone got out of prison after 50 years, even sex workers need education, a warning on buying whole life insurance, we go on another little rant against pumping bloggers because we are on that bend right now (won’t last) and of course we promote the TBB xexy links because they are so sexy without any integrity at all, wooohoo!

The worthy content has really slowed down finally…This is going to be short…If I had a $ click for every time I said that and then it did not come true…Lets do this!
I had not seen a post about this yet, so here it is: Earning Points and Elite Night Credit for Multiple Hotel Rooms.
What is the best hotel loyalty scheme. This is pretty good analysis of each major program.
So many experts out there, it’s time to stop letting them comment on subjects they know nothing about. Can’t wait for next Friday’s interview at the Million Mile Secrets blog starting with “I discovered miles and points last month and decided to start this blog to tell my friends and family how to travel for free”.
Wow, what a story. A 17 year old goes to prison and comes out 50 years later. Talk about an emotional maze.
Personal finance fix of the day: Whole Life Insurance: The Pay Day Loan of the Middle Class. Have seen this shit sold to so many people…Sad!
Education is important. How important is it? Well, even sex workers earn more if they get a college degree. So many young people in this hobby blogging/writing away when they could be learning/adding really marketable skills…
Don’t get Queen’s guardsmen angry, wtf!

If I knew material to blog about would be so low…I would have posted my once a month Support post. To coincide with the end of the Amex SPG 35k offers. But since I do have integrity, I did not. Or maybe I am a moron. Don’t say a word, thanks.
I just can not believe my links don’t get used much. I mean, do other links do what my links can do? Didn’t think so!
I hinted about the recent problems with Bank of America credit card applications. And now the popular Merrill Lynch has big issues…Good luck! Can you imagine how faster this baby would be dead if there was an affiliate commission with it?
The unofficial record with a post containing the most affiliate links has been 44. By Million Mile Secrets Links. I thought another post titled “top 7 Credit Cards To Get Big Travel With Small Money” will top it. Sadly, the record was tied again! No worries, pretty soon we’ll have a new record. And remember, TBB has no integrity lol.
There are a LOT of websites out there that are under the radar of travel hackers. You know, they were developed with the only purpose, you know, to tell clueless newbies how to travel for free and then get them to click on credit cards. I do NOT mention them because, like the bow tie guy said in a panel last year, “all publicity is good publicity”. And I am afraid if I mention them…you will check it out and some newish readers will, for God’s sake, stick around. So I just keep my mouth shut. Besides, who wants to entertain more lawsuit threats. But it still amazes me…there is so MUCH bad crap out there it makes The Ignored Blogs actually look, gulp, good! I can’t believe I just typed that…Be careful out there!
Amazing…The Points Guy finally updated the miles/points valuation and, get this, amazingly every single one stayed the same or went up! In the last year. None went down. When will its readers realize the awful conflict of interest in the site’s DNA? Breathe, breathe. Serenity now.
You must be pretty desperate when sites like The Frugal Travel Guy blog stuff like this to sell more plastic, wow! “The Burlseque Circus Is Coming to L.A. (With An Amex Discount)” smh.
The ridiculousness of it all…”Last Chance” – Never fails to amaze me! (HT: Trent S.)
Just a select sample of blog posts from yesterday that primarily were posted to convert readers to click on credit cards…and you can take that to the bank…oh crap, they sure do pumping every day while I search for my integrity lol.
And I leave you with this…

and the bot!
Ah well!
It’s your LAST CHANCE to comment on TBB! Hurry!
Now that is motivation!
The common linearization of rewards giving each some dollar value supposes they can used just like dollars and the exchange rate is stable. Neither of course is always true.
I find Delta miles a useful bug out currency. I was going to a conference, got a call from my brother to come say goodbye to dad. The Atlanta ground agents couldn’t see a seat to SFO. But the Platinum medallion desk could. Last one: $3500 or 100k miles. Made it. As a result of that lesson I’m now Diamond.
That nonlinearity is a fright to analyze but sometimes it needs to be lived.
Next one to comment will NOT be the last!
Last.
Que?
I have seen ridiculous headlines but this one takes the cake and the cherry on top of it, wow!
5 Reasons It’s Ridiculous Not to Have Amex Platinum In Your Wallet

I Love TBB!!!
Thanks anonymous person in the internet 🙂
Anyone else get Hilton Diamond until March 2018 from a status match last year? FYI, they rejigger status every March 31, and mine dropped down to Gold. I chatted them online and they agreed to get it back up to Diamond. They said. I’ve got a reservation in a few days and hopefully it’s done by then.
If not, guess I’ll hafta pull a “DYKWIA?!”
Buzzies, who can walk me through how to do that?
Do I have the right site? 🙂
I fall in this category.
I tried to get it matched again to my Fairmont Platinum status and then I just let it go…
Can you elaborate how you “chatted them online”?
I don’t kill deals…
like that Office Depot Mastercard promo….wow, that was super fast!
I was matched from (free) IHG Platinum.
The Hilton website has a “chat” widget like Amex’s.
Deleting comments again?
I’ll try again:
I love tbb
43 minutes before I saw this. Immediately…I dove into the Spam folder, fought my way through Viagra and other spamshit, and all I found was the one above from ingy (not Ingy) telling me “I LOVE TBB” which I immediately unspammed. Can you match that responsiveness at the FTG site with so many staff pumping away huh?
Of course if this site had any integrity it would not bother…you know, it takes valuable time from converting readers lol.
Actually, I respond sooner but I am busy doing quarterly invoices. Another fine quarter, wow. I tell each client, again, that this will stop one of these quarters and their money will actually go DOWN! And enjoy it while it lasts. Oh, looks like another record too. At least that other gig pays much better than this one.
Thanks to the two SPG and one Barclay recent approvals, maybe it was you to help blog critics without integrity keep going.
So..who are you again?
To all: Blog action is drying up…pumping bloggers wishing the BA 100k card had an affilliate link!
I am fasting. Hour 18 and I think I am starting to hallucinate…
Back to work.
Behave!
Best MMS post of the day!
Best rewards cards to use at Costco
1. CSP 1 UR point
2. CSR 1 UR point
3. Freedom 1 UR point this quarter
4. Freedom Unlimited 1.5 UR points
(best being #1 most commission revenue? (Shoulda switched 1 & 2, but then we’d see right through it) Makes perfect sense for MMS!
CSP rocks…in commissions that is. Take Barclaycard and Citi cards and multiply by 3. Why do you think VFTW is preparing yet another post on how CSP is his favorite card?
Whenever I see this at MMS…I think of TBB and…smile:
Emily and I don’t currently earn a commission for this offer, but we’ll always tell you about the best deals!
What’s the commission ratio between CSP and CSR?
1.16 to 1
Same dinky links TBB has so the Titans are probably raking it in at higher rates.
That’s enough for today.
