This section is for advanced level hobbyists and veteran blog readers & personal rants & stuff

Pretty good piece on Randy Petersen.

Time to apply for more credit cards in my household. I see the landscape around me and I just am not that excited…At least son has room to go for cards he can actually get. But nothing is a MUST get card these days, sad!

From the blogger who dared to do a fund me post to fly some First Class “product” some time ago. To numerous moronic childish posts about his crushes. Don’t get me started on credit card selling posts. Yep, it is One Mile at a Time of course. But the super click baity post on flying with a celebrity and not revealing who it was was simply his WORST BLOG POST EVER imho! Make no mistake, the post generated numerous comments and page views, which means MONEY in Boarding Area! And so many morons fell on the click bait, including me! At least many called him out on it…only for him to post some type of apology while enjoying all the dinero. WTF to infinity you guys!

Update: I always appreciate constructive criticism, and in this case it’s clear I was wrong, based on the number of comments. I can promise my intention with not giving the celebrity’s name wasn’t to be clickbaity, but rather I felt like it would be creepy to share who it was. Then again, maybe I shouldn’t have written the post at all, though I can only blame my excitement at the time. Since just about everyone seems to disagree with me, and since he was indeed on a commercial flight between two major airports, I’ll share. It wasn’t Shawn Mendes, because I said “one of my biggest” and not “the biggest.” 😉 It was Nick Jonas. Sorry again… I’ll do better next time.

Nick Jonas….smh. Dude, you are close to thirty years old…ok, I stop smh.

And just when you thought it could not get more ridiculous selling credit cards at The Points Guy…it just did! One of the staffers did a post “Battle of the Metal Credit Cards – Which is the Strongest?”. Yep, got a scale and weighed them. Oh, of course, pumped a few dozen credit card affiliate links to the morons reading that blog. And here I am not getting any clicks…Phuuuuuck! 🙂

For breaking news I read The Points Guy said no one ever…

Since the thought leader of online marketing took the high road, in less than 24 hours, he got back into selling credit cards and pushing product on Amazon…

So, I kept track of who did an individual post on the Best Western Rewards game I posted on Saturday…

And I leave you with this…

    Good info on the JAL domestic flights with Avios.

    VFTW smh…leopard can’t change its spots I guess!

    The only thing funnier than OMAAT’s ridiculous post was on the FT thread where Renes tried to jump to Ben’s defense. So sad.

    • TBBTheDude says

      I think the best one is the one with the ships real time judging from the likes/RTs it is getting!

      Randy is a good guy.

    Help me understand when the bitcoin mania may end.
    Market cap bitcoin: $160 Billion.
    Market cap gold: $8 trillion
    Market cap of US notes and coins: ~$1 trillion

    I’m churning this week too, Buzzer. And indeed it is slim pickins’ out there.

    I’m thinking about that Alliant 3% cash back (2.5% after year one if you stick around). That’s 3% on everything and no dog-legs to get the cash like Barclays, Citi and others. At 3%, I can make money paing our taxes. I’m in a Cash Back state of mind, to paraphrase Billy Joel.

    I was going to keep my wife’s apps down to get her under 5/24 but I added things up and she’s 9/24 and nothing drops off until next summer. To paraphrase our President-thanks anyway. So wife will apply for the best Amex card that shows up when I log her in and peek at her offers. The problem is that I have freezes in place for both of us across the board, and I don’t know how to get ‘em off. I got those codes though. Someplace.

    Then we’ll both apply for the Asiana card with BofA. Only a 30k bonus but they don’t charge much for awards either. To paraphrase the mustache guy, it doesn’t take much to live well. Do you think he makes any money on those credit card app links? Maybe I’ll get me some of those so I can live more well.

    Who’s Nick Jonas? To paraphrase Pete Townshend, why should I care? And if Jonas really is a big shot, why is he flying commercial? To paraphrase Groucho, if I were a big shot, I wouldn’t fly with a Titan.

    Did you hear about the website that anonymously send pizzas to protests:

    http://www.breakingnews.ie/discover/this-anonymous-legend-is-sending-pizza-to-protesters-in-america-775533.html

    To paraphrase Mommy Points, I hope they’re using. CSR and stacking coupons under, on top of and in the pizza boxes. Eat like it matters.

    Maybe it does.

    • TBBTheDude says

      To paraphrase…

      I like it!

      Question for you: Do I cancel/downgrade my Amex Surpass so I have a shot for the signup bonus on the new version….just in case it IS a new product?

      Not going for the Alliant card…between my Ink 5x giftcarding at Office Depot and Amex Blue Business Plus at 2% everything…I am good.

      I can’t get excited by 30k anymore, sad!

      Just buried with Cyber Monday crap all over the blogosphere today… #mindblown

        “Question for you: Do I cancel/downgrade my Amex Surpass so I have a shot for the signup bonus on the new version….just in case it IS a new product?”

        Sorry, Buzz, I have never Surpassed. It’s not them, it’s me.

        Someday. Or to paraphrase The Thought Leader……..

  7. Vern Fonk (MY REAL NAME)... formerly known as the ass Ramsey says

    Cyber Monday is just another Holiday that has become sooooo commercial!

    Today is the high HOLY DAY that the 3 Wisemen began their journey following the North Star trying to find Baby Jesus. LET US PRAY.

    • Sam says

      I don’t mean to be sacrilegious but did they have Hyatt Globalist? If so, they might have gotten suites.

      I read a post by a guy who got his whole family upgraded to a huge suite in New York City-lists for over $20k a night. Then they all went down to breakfast and ordered stuff off the menu-exotic stuff like little banana sandwiches that went for $22@.Ran the tab up to $300+.

      No Frankincense, though. Speaking of Franken and sense…….

      • TBBTheDude says

        I just want to be a better person too…

        like Al

        not AI as in sex robots stuff

        I am in good shape for the rest of the week here…

        I think DoC links to VFTW just to piss me off…Who had another amazing plastic pump targeting newbies with, what else,…Chase cards!
