Ok, don’t laugh. Lets go way back. To 1983. High School #6 in Larissa, Greece. The dream team. I am at lower right corner. I look so innocent. Please no comments about my socks okay? Good times. About 9 months later I left for the US. And I still don’t believe what happened next woohoo!

Gary is detoxing in the Bay area and spilling the beans.
I’ll bet my remaining 2157 HHonor points on the gf dumping him soon because she has to sit in coach and stay at youth hostels.
Gary should be reading my blog 🙂

Sandbagging! The hallmark of a great sales rep. Don’t just tip your toe in the water, go all the way.
10 is good, take the wife out to a few nice meals…would love to have 10 exactly each month…it would be perfect…same way I passed the CPA exam on the first try back then….got four 75s….75 was the passing score…pure perfection 🙂
So, the highly regarded Richard Kerr does a post about hotel credit cards and bennies you can get from spend on them. Almost 30 cc affiliate links. Which is expected of course at The Points Guy. THIS is what they do. But what is disgusting is he mentions many other credit cards, which TPG does not sell, and does not even have the courtesy to provide a direct link to assist the readers.
Yeah, f*ck The Points Guy!

“…the same parent company owns both the advertiser and the publisher, and in many cases that publisher is the sole source for news media. It’s as if the food manufacturers directly owned the grocery stores, and the newspaper called the grocery store to ask about the health benefits of processed foods.”
Exactly, THIS is the issue. Meanwhile, all there collecting a paycheck at TPG can gloat among themselves pretending they are helping people and feeling good among themselves…all they do is push product out the door. PERIOD.
Where’s your Google Fi referral link?
I should have…looking back 🙂
