Apparently, today is the last day for the really good Amex Delta card offers. They are available with my links. That is all, thank you.
Well, as I have told you many times, the revenue based tsunami keeps going. And going. Next up is Air France Flying Blue. I guess they are taking lessons from Delta and making the frequent flyer program an afterthought in doing business with them and just be happy you may get. Something. Someday. Zzzzzzzz. Hey plastic credit card pumping blogger…your days of “Hey look at me in my flat bed eating caviar and drinking Krug for free” are almost over…so bust your ass to lure newbies in a lifetime of debt!
Incredible collection of architecture in Yemen. Maybe one day when bombs stop we can visit…
What you should know about the Paradise Papers? First, it was the Panama papers. Something about these starting with Pa-?
It is really sad…The magnitude of America’s opioid epidemic, in six charts.
Very interesting. How has the internet changed the market for sex. Just wait for the sex robots, you won’t believe what happens next!
Yuge! World’s Largest Deliverable Pizza.
Okay, another video to laugh out loud this time. Women celebrities but with Seth Rogen’s laugh.
The Legendary Countryside of Transylvania, Romania.
Love this, the abandoned Canfranc railway station, the “Titanic of the Mountains”.
What North Koreans eat. Oh Lord, looks awful!

My wife burned some of her AA miles for a trip to Honolulu to see her best friend who moved there. Miles burned to date about 670k. I may have slowed way down in earning lately but the burning goes on!
I underestimated how elderly people find it so hard to move from a home they lived almost all their lives. I think I will be coming back to Greece way sooner than I thought. Deep down, my mother just does not want to move to a smaller place as long as she can take care of herself.
I am getting fat in Greece. Too many spinach pies, gyros sandwiches and mother’s home cooking.
This is a GREAT rant against Flying Lying Blue! Just an excerpt to get in the groove: [Update: If the page is down, maybe the blogger took it down because of too many f words?]
Look at her – she’s using a tablet to book her flights. A tablet! She’s not going to tolerate some shitty loyalty program that requires her to use an… ugh… a computer. She may not even know what a computer is for chrissakes. Isn’t that what grandpa uses to do his crossword puzzles?
In other words, this was probably inevitable, but I’m still mad that Lying Blue is kicking me in the nuts and telling me why I should enjoy getting kicked in the nuts while they do it. At least smear some avocado on your shoes before you do it, you fuckingassholes.
If you have any of the Citi Hilton cards this is how you should play the Amex conversion.
And I leave you with this…None of them will get married lol

Too much thinking on the Citi-Amex switch with Hilton. I just canceled all our Citi Hilton cards since they had no free nights attached or likely. Will get new Amex bonuses sometime. In truth, it’s no big deal. Just hotel cards, and Hilton at that.
On the AF change, if they take redemptions down to a penny a point value, why do they think anyone will use a credit card to earn a mile rather than using one to get 2 cents in cash. I’m pretty sure 2 cents is more than 1 cent, thought that could be fake news.
Oh, I forgot-there are 63,000 followers on the Reddit churning, etc. boards. Party on, Garth.
What you said about 2 cents vs 1 cent was very deep 🙂
Yeah yeah yeah
All bots lose speed with time, sad!
Bots are back!
but not first hehe
Reduced prescription costs was a major selling point of Obamacare. That combined with the already rampant overprescribing mindset of doctors and BAM…opioid epidemic.
The affordable care act has nothing to do with the opioid epidemic. You can thank Purdue Pharma and ignorant doctors for that.
I go with ABC on this one
Better to blame Stupid Lazy White Men who just aren’t strong enough to face the challenges that literally everybody else has been facing for centuries.
Instead they drug out and check out like the fearful cowards they are.
Hundreds of non-white girls can go missing in the US without any outcry or news story but as soon as it’s a white girl it is plastered across the news.
And millions of non-white-males have dealt with layoffs, lack of opportunity, and drug addictions, but only when it happens to white males is it a “CRISIS THAT MUST BE DEALT WITH IMMEDIATELY!!!!!”
I don’t disagree with your points.
You know who comes next? 🙂
Beetlejuice?
Wow that N Korea food is amazing yet sad.
The Lying Blue rant is cracking me up!!!
Yeah, good rant, reminded me of the good old TBB days!
I bet you we fly over some Big Macs and Taco Bell tacos and they will think they are sent from God. North Korea is probably the weirdest country on earth, wow!
Does a guy who uses his resemblance to Joel Osteen to crash a Joel Osteen event count as gaming the system?
