TJ: Making fun of BA Bloggers for Vendoming is officially the new Vendoming.
Scott: While MMS turned into garbage awhile ago, and I can’t remember the last time MMS had anything of value on it, but you have to admit the interviews are pure SEO genius.

Scott: Another sex themed headline from VFTW. You know that kid in Superbad who drew pictures of dicks? I bet that was Gary. Or still is. http://youtu.be/fzuvQXDUybE

Steve: Amazing how many bloggers who would never in a million years step foot in a Marriott all of the sudden discovered it.
I guess they needed something to hold them over until the next 50K offer for the airline they’ll never step foot on…. sorry, I mean the next AFFILIATE public offer.
Good to see FTGs attempt to sucker newbies extends beyond the blog, credit card tool and Chicago Seminars…. apparently they need to do it by email as well.

Updated! TBB Blog Reviews: Love, Like and Ignore Lists
[I elaborated on the rationale for all the changes in the reviews of the TBB Blog Lists. And this one had the most and sharpest/heaviest comments of the month!]
TBB:
Frequent Miler – Just did not think I Loved the content as much. Don’t get me wrong, I still like some posts but many leave me uninterested. I am not going to get into the MS thingie “controversy” here at all. It still has the best practices on the affiliate links, he is an outlier in this for sure. Just a gut reaction. Compared it to the other Love blogs and I am still crazy for them. I am just not crazy about FM. Or maybe it is a lame attempt to challenge him to…bring it 
I have no one right now who can be added to the Love list. Not even close to consideration!
Added the Adventure Blog to the Like list because I have shared with you many of the videos he finds. Should have been added some time ago.
DansDeals was due to the pumping. Just way too much of it. Don’t get me wrong. He knows his stuff, works his butt off, the forum is great and has been up for a long time and I hear the seminars are pretty good. But ever since the Amex links loss I noticed more pumping and less great blog content (not as much as earlier). But…you know how I feel about pumping. Just got to to me suddenly…this is not a science by any means.
Blog of Francesco Mugnai – Really innovative stuff but not much anymore. Time to go.
Any considerations for the Like list? Yes, in this order: Miles4More (close). Travel With Grant (far)
Any considerations off the Like list? Yes in this order: World Geography (almost in). Travel Summary (has time), Milenomics & Lenticular Traveler (still safe but post frequency has dropped big time!)
Any considerations for the Ignore list? Always Seriously, since I have Wallet Slot I should have Miles Momma. Both are just very small. Or just keep them both off the list. Extra Pack of Peanuts was going to be off the list until he had that pump for his course for $299 while pretty much doing podcasts…so I kept EPOP.
In my mind, many have entered this thought “Holy crap, seriously? If you keep this up girl you will be a layup for the Ignore list”: The Miles Professor, Just Another Points Traveler come to mind late Friday night after I had red wine glasses (not saying how many!)

icicle: Tom Cruise does the ice bucket challenge and makes me want to like him again. Gary does it and somehow it ends up Vendomed! Barf.
And the customary ridiculous pics…

Please pass my blog link to your friends and family because it is awesome. You are awesome too! Spread the awesomness. Stop the suckiness. Running out of things to say late on Saturday night oh the life of a blogger. Boy did the University of Michigan suck eggs at Notre Dame, BOO!

First?
Does it feel as amazing as many others who were First? Before you get to respond, I answer first: YES!
I’m wondering what was so exciting on a Saturday night that I missed? LOL…I strive to be first on a weeknight!
2nd? whoa.
what the heck is going on here, where are the usual suspects? Out partying?
Third… why am I still up?
I don’t know man…but sometimes I feel why am I still up too working on this blog lol!
MMS is back with another classic: “Can You Use Your Deceased Partner’s American Airlines Miles?”
Just think of the fun he’ll have when his mother-in-law kicks the bucket.
I wonder what happened to the mother in law. I think Amex said “no more mother in laws, sounds ridiculous, your readers may call your BS….so keep them in the dark and keep pumping boy!”
Looking forward to my Spirit first-class flight on Tuesday. Too bad, it’s at 6:30AM, so won’t be able to check the new AMEX lounge beforehand. Will buy some duty-free on board just to test the limits of my RC card, LOL.
Guess we won’t be seeing pics of you in flat beds and champagne in this one 🙂
I had my wife refer me to the card. Never got the email. But wife got an email thanking her for reffering me with a link to see that my email was “suppressed”. Spent over an hour on the phone to get my email unsupressed only to be told that I will be receiving a form in the mail in ten business days to fill out and mail back to achieve this.
Unbelievable. On top of that, the mfers in BofA sent me a letter giving me less than a month to start charging me a monthly fee for my personal checking unless I meet certain conditions. Been a customer there for 30 years there and in the past year they have attempted to start charging me fees on both personal and checking accounts (meaning I have to shift some money from elsewhere to maintain 5k minimum balance in each account) Not like the cash is earning anything nowdays…But still…it bothers me! Have these accounts in so many direct deposits/billpays/creditcardpays…it is a bitch to switch…and they know it!
Idiots!
