This Blog Buzz Edition covers blog action October 9 – 11 on a first Junk in, first Junk out basis. This is intended to be satire! If you were the subject of satire at SNL and you complained you certainly would look as ridiculous as we aim to make this blog! Feel free to start your own blog to be as ridiculous, hurrryyyyyyyy!
Making a snarky comment for every single credit card pump post is obviously ridiculous and I don’t have a staff of Editors or hired guns to keep this up so I am graduating the manure that has infested my hobby to a magnificent graphic depicting the horror of what this space has become. It is downright offensive to their readers to pump them non stop like this, how demeaning! Well, I guess the money must be that good I suppose….Boo!
I need to make these posts SHORTER to keep my sanity and keep this baby going because the Amazon money will help me pay off my mortgage so much sooner LOL!
Ever Bought a Red Bull? You Could Get $10 in Free Cash – Million Mile Secrets [Wow, days after I posted it here. What a secret huh? We even get a huge red arrow labeled “Enter Your Information” which was, you know, name and address etc. Flog me please!
Planning for year end & 2015 Delta Mileage Runs! – Delta Points [Mileage what? Please buy my Delta Amex and Reserve Amex cards. All of a sudden we love Amex again! If they drop us we will make sure you do not see their links on our site…how dare they!]

Oh, click on our Amex Gold, Platinum and Reserve Amex cards. We make a killing, we LOVE Amex but not when they take the affiliate links from us, then we just never post any Amex links!]
Which Has Better Discounts, AMEX OPEN or Visa SavingsEdge? – Million Ways to Stay Chase-y [Wow, what else are we going to come up with to sell more product! Just wow!]
Using Square to Manufacture Spend in Canada – Canadian Kilometers [Biggest pump north of the border! I see so many Boarding Area bloggers speaking their minds publicly about one of their own…#killmiles]
Another Friday Interview at Million Mile Secrets: Every Friday, it’s like deja vu folks!

– Tip: Load gift cards to Bluebird [Get out!]
And more. There is now a large and ever growing sub category of blogs of newbies who are helping newbies. Staying under the radar of us veterans so they do not provoke our wrath 🙂 I am communicating in a private Facebook group with financial bloggers who are totally new to this and it is quite entertaining. It keeps amazing me how so many people dish out “expertly” advice and they don’t come out and say “Hey, if it was not for the credit card dinero I can earn from being so helpful to everyone who may apply with my credit card links there is no way in hell I would be helping your right now, I am just not an idiot like that arsehole George TBB guy lol”. #rolleyes
Finally, I finally saw a detailed explanation on how this Boarding Area featured blogger, non featured blogger, Prior2boarding blogger, About2beTitan (joking) system works! Must read if you are interested in the subject! Post #226 by techgirl who writes at Jetsetter’s Homestead.
I enjoyed the back and forth in this FlyerTalk thread. Same old Rick/ingy/Frugal Travel Guy (the person) and same old arguments. Give me a Y, give me an A, blah W, blah blah N——>YAWN!<—————for dramatic effect (learned that from MMS!). Hey Frugal Travel Guy thanks for the reminder in my email inbox! (yes I can unsubscribe but this is how I entertain myself, I am a weirdo!)
So, as I was saying, I need to cut down my time I spend on TBB because beating up a Chase Ink Plus pump post can keep me working double shift. This is what my hobby has turned to, what do you call this blitz huh? Pic looks better if you click on it!
Time to say gooodbye…until we meet again…Peekaboo!

First!!!
Who’s Drew?
Third-ish?
Yeah… whatever 😉
@ Tiff: First first? We always remember our first 🙂
@ Scott: Who?
@ Grant I saw a hesitation there, like you were not sure you were actually third because you did not hit refresh a dozen times? 🙂
@ srinik: Yeah really. Just don’t be one of the 0.2% “angrie” crowd and practice personal responsibility for a change…yeah, I am struggling here…time to refill my cup of coffee!:
Currently on a longggg trip to India. Couldn’t find much time, but reading TBB and my other favorite blogs whenever i find time. Missing the full fledged action but a long break is good in a way in this hobby, i guess. Big hi to George and all my friends. Will be back in less than a month. Take care friends.
Good to see you are just fine, we miss you!
Amazon servers are grinding down to a near halt as everyone gets there last fake payments sent to their spouse, child, etc.
In the meantime, bloggers are thinking up posts for tomorrow along the lines of “Amazon Payments now dead…how else to earn miles??!” Buckle up!
Yeah really #rolleyes 🙂
I hope redbird makes it to Oregon soon.
Redbird changes EVERYTHING!!!!! OMG!!!
Except if you have WM and can load BB or Serve…it doesn’t change anything. FM is desperate for new content and is resorting to absurd claims.
I peed in my pants when I read about it. Target is so much sexier than WM.
The obvious reasons have already been discussed by FM. It’s nice to have options and AMEX is remarkably generous. We’ll all be bailing them out again in the next financial crisis.
I write about this very late tonight. Looks like all the BA bloggers were taught how to write click bait headlines!
I am pissed off I missed the 10k UA Miles bonus for spending 25k on the Mileage Explorer Visa for just $249 as my insurance company was late by one whole day and I now have to wait for a whole month for these miles. This is as cruel as bitching about the FA not getting my pre departure drink within 2 mins of me sitting down in my big fat FC seat 😉
