Just a reminder: American Express Hilton Cards – 80k / 100k + Free Night (Expires May 31). Available here, no arrows!
I have slowed down on earning miles and points from credit cards. I am being very strategic as I try to get my miles/points balances under 3 million. Hey, it is hard hehe! I will go for the Amex Blue Business Plus no annual fee credit card soon too, Mrs. TBB was instantly approved last week. With my links of course, I ‘ll give her a bonus lol. The card is a no brainer IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING! No annual fee, 2 Amex Membership Rewards points for EVERY dollar up to $50k spend and it does NOT count for Chase Bank’s 5/24 count #winning.
All major hotel promotions for the summer HERE.
Top 10 Lonely Planet European Destinations. Interesting places. But Leeds, UK, seriously?
Drone above Norway’s Seven Sisters Waterfall. Breathtaking. Wow!
Sometimes you shake your head in WTFitis mode: Angry gentleman plows into Moonlite Bunny Ranch with 18-wheeler while women sleeping. I wonder what happened…
Advice from Buffett, Munger and Gates.
TBB likes drones a lot…Dronescapes.
Lets go to Ghardaia, Algeria. Off the beaten path indeed!
The cheapest countries to drink around the world. Always an interesting topic in TBBland!

This section is for advanced level hobbyists and veteran blog readers & personal rants & stuff
I had never heard of such retention offer on the Amex Platinum card! a $350 statement credit or 50,000 Membership Rewards points – with no spending requirement
When news come about the laptop ban I will post a link here from a true expert source. Save yourselves from the numerous posts pondering and spreading rumors, they do it because…they…have…nothing…else…to…blog…about. Plus it gives them a break before the next credit card pumping post!
When Points, Miles & Martinis posts yet another targeted “deal”, make no mistake, the target is always YOU! This blog will certainly move up in the infamous Blogs To Ignore list…next time I get around to it, be patient.
I have 10 of the 13 nights booked (with points or free night certs) of our upcoming vacation to the San Francisco area. Time to work on it some more. So, getting in to SFO late at night so I am going to book an airport hotel and then head to the city next morning. I am down to the Four Points by Sheraton SFO for 10,000 SPG points or the Hyatt Regency SFO for 12,000 Hyatt points. SPG points are precious and could be used elsewhere, I have plenty of Chase Ultimate Rewards points to transfer to Hyatt so I am leaning towards this route. Comments? After this one, still need to do two nights in the city and of course the car rental #developing.
Bloggers hard at work showing readers how to travel for free selling credit cards #neverstops
Mommy Points had the most pumpy ridiculous headline. Sounding desperate! – “Two More Days: Get 20 Award Nights from One Sign-Up Bonus!”
When a blogger says “Last chance” it is almost certain…it is not!
I was going to work on looking into what it takes to set up a membership thingie but…instead spent a lot of time with the familia, biking, eating and drinking. And also finished the last installment of the Asia Summer Trip report at last, coming soooooonn!
Reader emailed me an idea to help me with monetizing. Offer Blogs on the Ignore list a way out of that list for a price. I hope he was kidding. I did not find it funny. But I do appreciate the suggestion for help. Just not my thing. Fine, make me an offer TPG! Bwahahahaha.
And I leave you with this…

DML is not a bot!
Humans will win against the bots in the end, thank you DML for inspiring the human race to be first!
Down with bots, take that ScottCastle’s bot.
Need to refill coffee cup.
A problem with humans is that we can’t be two different places at the same time. I’ll be late tomorrow, checking in from Midway.
MommyPimp is the worst. We are talking about a blogger that tried to sell the Hilton Reserve card as twice as valuable after a devaluation. Mind you, the bonus has been 2 free weekend nights and hasn’t changed…
Some people have no shame, indeed!
“It’s all about conversions” – Retired blogger, current troll
Correction: Financially Successful Retired blogger, current blog fan
Made a bet you would come out and post within 30 minutes.
It took 27 minutes.
I am anti gambling. I only bet when I know I am going to win!
Thanks for being a blog fan.
And for reading every day.
I can’t wait to see the membership model unfold. I am a betting man and have a good idea how I’d place my bet on that one 😉
Well, I got better things to do with my time than looking into the membership. From ideas to fruition…I move very slow. Especially when it comes to monetizing!
Thanks to the reader who got the Amex Hilton Surpass card with my links.
I can make you a deal on the Lifetime Membership since you have always been reading this blog #callmemaybe
“Financially successful” doesn’t make a fat angry man a success. True success stories don’t end with blog trolling.
Now wasn’t that a mature reply???? I’ll gladly spend a few minutes trying to help my buddy George see the light that bitching and whining about others is not helping his readership or revenue numbers increase.
But you go ahead and continue with the personal insults if you must. It shows your lack of maturity
Lack of maturity is bitching and whining in the comments of a blog you do not like AND screaming I am a financially successful blogger lol.
Ingy thinking I am serious about offering lifetime membership here = covfefe!
Where is everyone today?
Definitely not at my links #silent
Somebody please wake me up.
Massive plumbing fail at the PFD homestead. Sigh… On the positive side, I’ll have an easy time meeting a minimum spend.
That does not sound good…
Those poor Bunnies! Talk about a delayed revenge, geez!
Points Miles & Martinis is always horrible. They’re yet another example of why Boarding Area has no standards, no pride, no shame. Click-click-click…cash-cash-cash – that’s all BA is about.
PMM moving up on my list!

With shocking pictures from the lavatory, you won’t believe what happened inside!
Hotel maids HATE him!
If I had a CSP click for every time I saw a post about that infamous laptop ban that is coming…or maybe not…or wait, it is coming and it will be expanded…oh wait, false alarm, it is off…for now….until next rumor….yo mamas
where’s your Booking.com referral link?
Visited that site years ago…
never went back 🙂
“Lifetime Membership” Who you kidding. When the little lady tells you that the blog is done, that’s the end of this clown show.
But until then, consider showing how much you trust your few readers. Let them pay what they think is a fair membership fee for copy and paste along with bitch, whine and beg for clicks.
I love TBB
I gotta say. When the dude isnt drunk, he hits with some pretty good shots. Keep off the sauce Ricky.
Notice how I was being nice and all…and then bang, the real Ingy comes out again. Never fails.
The dude said I will quit in 3 months. 4.5 years later I am still here and he just resorts to trolling on a blog he does not like. I mean, how covfefe is that!
