Not sure what Citi Bank will do with its Hilton cards now that they lost their rights as Hilton inked an exclusive deal with Amex starting in 2018. Nobody knows if they are completely done or they are taking them from the shelves before coming back with a last bang, so to speak. So, having this disclaimer up front, this could be true: Possibly Last Chance! Best Available Offers and Working Links for Citi Hilton Cards. These cards are not available with my links. Maybe I am a moron for featuring cards that do not pay me like so many other bloggers do. But I know it is the right thing to do without integrity at all 🙂 #TBByourBSFilter
Ladies and gents, this is the future of Business Class Seats, I really dig it!
I think combining marijuana and pizza is a Killer idea! The Next Big Thing! It will BLOW your mind! Get it? Maybe I have the next TBB Reader meetup in this place? Hehe.
This is a really good and pretty fair article imho: Why You Still Can’t Trust Your Financial Adviser. There are a lot of charlatans in my industry (hey, I don’t do travel blogging for a living, thank God!). Starting today, we have a partial Fiduciary Rule finally become “effective”. I say that in quotes because the rule has been “studied” to death for years, it has been greatly watered down and will likely get killed before it becomes fully effective on January 1, 2018. It only deals with most retirement assets, allowing brokers and sales reps to pump their clients with some non transparent atrocious shit in non retirement accounts! Yeah, special interests for you fighting (AND succeeding) for the right to screw consumers. Trump will drain the swamp, coughingtodeath lol. Maybe one day I will do a post on this or answer specific questions.
Update: Now, Your Financial Advisers Will Have to Put You First (Sometimes). Better article by one of my favorite personal finance writers at the New York Times.
Lets go visit the DMZ in Korea! This is a nice trip report of a tour.
The 16 Most Expensive Scyscrapers built in the last 30 years. The one below is probably the only one used as a residence by an Indian dude. 27 floors, yeah, WTF dude!
Location Scouting for Wes Anderson. This site is awesome, Hotel Belvedere. There are 19 more amazing places for you…

When do Le Club AccorHotels points expire and how to stop it. Oh crap, looks like my 1,401 points will expire. They should rename this program Le Suck.
MainStreetShares shut down. The former Big Crumbs owners moved their scheme to this site. “Deep Throat” made this comment in a fit of rage…
Please sit down. American Airlines, tired of the continued beatings due to the horrendous AAdvantage program, actually DID deliver an improvement. You can now book Iberia awards online instead of having to call. That requires finding award space—–>LOL. (HT. Rufus H.)
Emily with new boyfriend!
Every time I look at the MMS Friday interview I shake my head. We don’t really need yet another blog in this space, really! And the kissing ass that happens is beyond ludicrous.
JetSmarter Free Three Month Membership. Looks like they will give it to you if you have 1,000,000 miles from more than one source. Lost my appetite when I read you have to give them copy of your drivers license and, not sure, copy of passport or SSN card? I never liked this company so beware. I am not doing it. But if you do you can write a guest trip report here if you like 🙂
To the few readers who asked to do a trip report…I am waiting. No rush in my end, just let me know!
You can match your Gold or Sliver Elite airline status with Virgin Atlantic’s Flying Club. If you want.
This is how I roll, errrr, fly for (almost) free that is 🙂

¡Feliz fin de semana!
TBBTheDude says
Feilz navidad to you too 🙂
bluecat says
WTF is happening to View from the Wing? That guy is definitely in National Enquirer territory!!
I guess it gets the clicks but did we need such blatant proof that this hobby is going downhill??
I more shitty week of his salacious crap and he gets removed from my reading list!!
Ryan says
I was going to post much the same comment here! His obsession with tawdry crap is really weird. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not at all offended and am a pervert myself, lol, but to make such junk such a large part of your supposedly professional blog site is so odd.
TBBTheDude says
The slide of that blog has been amazing…
I think he is trying to keep up with posts and just poss what is click bait…
Absolute garbage!
bluecat says
I can’t believe any MSM site will interview him anymore. Maybe he’s given up on that and just going after the tabloid demographic.
Thought Leader in Trashy Airline Travel Stories
Ryan says
Well I’ll take Iberia over nothing I guess. I really wish AA would put LATAM space online.
TBBTheDude says
I wish many things…LATAM awards online would be nice too.
Nashville Katz says
EMILY is a catch! She has 50% of that MMS money and is one of the most photographed models in the world…………………..What would the Newbie MMS readers think of the Blog if they saw this picture, the facade would be exposed.
TBBTheDude says
Most photographed models – U are not kidding!
Raffles says
Anyone fancy going back through every 2016 MMS Friday interview to see how many are still active?
TBBTheDude says
No tengo tiempo….
Any reader want to do this for research? Or maybe I can get my daughter to do it…
Has to be north of 50%! Not active that is…
TellItLikeItIs says
Guy has found his sugar mama. Darius’s money will spend just fine.
phil says
Ha comment of the day. Pose for a few cheesy photos and spend bowties money with sugar momma, sounds like a good deal.
TravelBloggerBuzz says
The avatar in MMS twitter handle is….D! So showing the link to this trip report with him at the top left corner looking down is just…weird! And that logo they have…what is she doing to him? 🙂

Obscure locale: the lower north shore of Quebec: http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2016/10/route-138-saving-quebec-forgotten-people-161018085959851.html

Watching Trump take down Qatar for funding terrorism while thanking Saudi Arabia for its efforts to fight terrorism was yet another proud WTF Trump moment!
Link looks cool, I added it to the to read list, thanks.
This will get a few readers angry…but they do some quality work at Al Jazeera. It’s like a beacon of free press in such a dark region…
Ok, now watch the flames thrown at me while I watch the Warriors sweeeeep.
ABC says
Many used to work for the BBC until they cut reporting from that area.
Pol Pot says
Pot Pizza is not a new idea. At least, not in Cambodia:

TravelBloggerBuzz says
Great place for a reader meetup indeed. I buy all the pizzas from my obscene blog profits!
TravelBloggerBuzz says
I would like to thank myself for getting the Amex Business Blue Plus credit card with my links.
Ok, ladies and gents, Game 4 of the NBA Finals is starting shortly!
Tomorrow’s post is already scheduled!
Thank you for TBBig with me!
Never stop to TBBon!
