We learn of American Airlines upgrading its lounges, visit Cartagena, learn of the best hotels for business travelers and lots more!
TBB Blog Mission: To Entertain. Educate. Inspire. In That Order!
This site is ad free! You can support it by applying for CREDIT CARDS, consider doing your shopping with our AMAZON AFFILIATE LINK and clicking/forwarding any of our REFERRAL LINKS.
The worthy news in the miles & points world have slowed down big time. I mean, when I only have the news of AA improving their lounges to feature here you know things are just drying up big time. Of course the pumping bloggers will keep trying to sell to their readers the same credit cards faking excitement and just bringing inconsequential news hoping to generate some clicks (two passengers whose flight was cancelled were booked into an S&M dungeon suite, wow, really, news, shaking my head).
Got up at 5 am for YOU, so here are a few more:
Bunch of small deals via Mile Nerd
The 2016 Changes in the Choice Privileges program via Loyalty Traveler. Yeah, it still sucks!
Top Hotel Promotions February 2016 via Loyalty Lobby
Cartagena, Colombia. An AFAR travel guide. My brother (who lives in Brazil) keeps telling me I gotta go there, it is a must see. It looks nice but out of so many places I want to see it just doesn’t make it anywhere near the top of the list. Any comments from someone who has been there?
A chocolate lover’s travel guide. Mmmm, you know you want it. You can get a chocolate body wrap in a spa in Chicago, say what? If I was MMS I would drop a dozen affiliate credit card links right NOW! But I am not.
This blog is morphing into a curated corner of the best stuff that impresses me from around the web that, always, entertains, educates and sometimes inspires. Slowly. Actually, I have no idea why I am even here! I guess I like having a voice and expressing myself. And I like interacting you with all. I also like the few haters as well, we are like a family lol.
This is a great piece on the Iraq War: America’s unlearned lesson: the forgotten truth about why we invaded Iraq.
Your personal finance fix of the day: A Dozen Things you can learn from the Anti-Models that are Bernard Madoff and his Victims. A must read imho. I hope POS Bernie gets hurt in jail…
Ok, Iraq war and Madoff….lets turn positive now because you just can’t go any lower!
As far as the eye can see. Awesome pictures of Jakob Wagner, check out his amazing Aerialscapes collection.
Weirdly eerie statues of American Presidents forgotten by time…
The 20 best hotels for business travelers. According to hospitality experts. Okay, if you say so, I guess…
MILES BUZZ
The comments got into a heated discussion yesterday about bloggers and their fundamental conflict of interest against preserving any deals…and stuff like that, enjoy!
An update on Marathon Man and Mileage Update. Must read!
Sometimes, I let loose on Twitter. I express myself and think about it later. You know, like book and ask questions later lol.
It is entertainment folks. Please satirize TBB so we can all laugh as well! Like I do the following:
TPG: Dude, you have staff and now do TED Talks too!
FTG: Where the selling never ever stops…
MV: Where the Citibank links are pumped to infinity.
MMS: CSP card is always the best!
It’s only going to get tougher with this company too…We are being hit from all directions!
And never ever let this happen to you! ——> Click NOT safe for work! Contains large body part. Unbelievable to be so drunk to let this happen, wow!
And I leave you with this…
Please help bloggers you appreciate & make a positive difference in your life by spreading the word about their blogs, emailing and commenting and using their few $ links, thank you!

Second in the comments but first in your heart.
Well, no worse than second, anyway.
And now off to work.
No medal for you!
You see? I can’t even get a reliable second.
Buzz-Should I turn the lights down or are you going to hang around a while?
Nothing is certain around here…until you hit refresh!
Will likely hang around for a while…until the chase 5/24 rule goes into effect for all cards and then I ‘ll just hang it up,….along with many other bloggers 🙂
Numero cinco but I am writing from Myanmar so I win!
Weren’t you just in South Africa? Wow!
Um, yeah…
Hahahaha… many, many, many “minutes” away from the business district (which is either Lagoa, Botafogo, Centro, or Barra, depending on your business interests), depending on traffic.
And availability of helicopters for transport
As long as we can BarclayArrival it… 🙂
In fairness, they didn’t say how many minutes. And it’s not that bad on metro… if you make it there without getting mugged, LOL!
Honestly, I can’t imagine a more distracting area for a business traveler. 🙂
Agree that the Vox piece on Iraq is great. Thanks for pointing it out.
You are welcome.
I, too, am interested in learning about Cartegena and Colombia in general. I have yet to visit South America and I was eyeing Bolivia, but Colombia may rise on my to-visit list.
Thanks for the Chocolate travel bucket list. Going to share that with all my chocolate lovers. Hershey Park is only a couple hours drive up and I think it’s a solid theme park to go to.
I’ve heard that Cartagena is similar to Benidorm. But without the Brits, so I can understand why your brother likes it!
Cartagena, anyone else?
Still dreaming of the chocolate body wrap, sounds so decadent!
It’s a beautiful city, I don’t really classify it as a must see (unless maybe your in Colombia already). I think taking a yacht through the San Blas islands to Panama City is a pretty cool experience though (obviously starting in Cartagena) and it’s something I’d do again.
