Something is going at Delta…Another mega Skymiles award sale, now to HKG for just 30k ROUND TRIP!!!

I miss PointsCentric too, another good blogger who retired 🙁

I ran 42 miles total this week. The previous record was 41 miles…the week before I left for vacation. I am thinking more and more about, maybe…just maybe, I could finish a marathon #developing

I still have not dared go into my Marriott/SPG account and do the combination thingie, I am scared!

Mommy Points is so desperate for conversions over at TPG she was like “you gotta get the SPG Luxury card TODAY” lol. Only to have most of these people targeted by Chase for 25k more points AFTER they applied. So sad. For them. LOL

And when you thought these guys were out of pumping ideas over at TPG, they post:

The 6 Most Underrated Credit Cards

Topics like this…are infinite 🙂

The reading queue for my blog is approaching LOL dimensions…

Had another conversion, 7 for August. And some clicks yesterday, hopefully three at least will materialize to keep this baby going. I have come to terms that my baby will evolve if it just comes to Amazon money. And I am okay with it.

It is time to catch up on everything today Saturday. TBB Best of Web Sunday post will appear tomorrow. But I must five the BEST five in the queue…NOT easy!

You all enjoy one more summer weekend!

And remember when people starting calling it “the hobby” but only ironically?

Better days.

Took familia to Waikoloa back in 2003, daughter was not even a 1 year old. We loved it. What was it back then, 6 night ALON award at 100k….Oh man, those were the days!

The only reason I can come up with is that he is probably working on his “craft” to rope in some more newbies to the “hobby” and just does not want to be on my radar…

If he comes out here I will be more inclined to quit!

So you don’t hang out here on Sundays when I post TBB Best of Web posts? Sad!

Good luck in retirement, let me know how it is and when to join you 🙂

Wow. This was when you had to fly to earn those miles.

How can we lure him back here?
