We will take a wild run again through United’s award search engine improvement, Southwest’s Valentine gifts, getting points for Sony movies, hourly rates for help on assisting bloggers, how mainstream blogs are discovering the affiliate revenues coming from credit cards, a great graph showing you what happens after a credit card is swiped, two amazing […]

I am not finding anything really worthy to feature here as far as miles/points go lately. Perhaps I am becoming immune to the posts just repeating the same content and lame reasons to pump more affiliate credit card links. I think it is a very sad state of affairs. Every day I am more proud […]

There is no rhyme or reason what appears here other than to satisfy the mission of TBB: To entertain, educate and inspire. Excuse the Amazon affiliate link above, I earn enough for a latte at Starbucks every week or two thank you! I took a picture of this showing a comparison of the Delta and […]

Well, the miles/points action was really light so it is time to catch up on some stuff I have been gathering for you. Online Travel Review with another take of a typically useless post showing us how we receive a credit card. “Me, Opening the Box with the New AA Credit Card In It…Wow!” Wow […]

Chris Elliott wrote “Is this story a fake? 5 ways you can tell?” which I found pretty interesting. We all know that Chris is not a fan of loyalty programs and miles addicts like us. Hey, everyone is entitled to their opinion and I certainly respect it. We all know that he likes to sensationalize […]

Cranky Flier had an insightful article on “United Cuts Its Cleveland Hub, Blames Connecting Passengers and the FAA“. Loyalty Lobby with the most comprehensive hotel promotion guide for the First Quarter of 2014. One Mile at a Time gives us the details on how United is handling the price increases post devaluation massacre days. It […]

Late in 2013 I saw an offer for the Hyatt Visa credit card from Chase Bank. It appeared to be the standard offer offering two free nights in any Hyatt with Platinum Status but there was an obvious error in the fine print. It stated Diamond status instead of Platinum status as long as you […]

Due to the most exciting Superbowl in recent years I managed to burn some United miles just a few hours before the mega devaluation massacre! This is what I managed: I burned 70,000 miles for Detroit to Frankfurt on Lufthansa (in Business), then to Bangkok on Thai Airways on the A380 (in First), then to […]

I could make a separate blog post about it but I won’t. I just want to let everyone know that I added PF Digest to one of the most amazing lists on the Internet: “Blogs I Like“. Congratulations! I am very proud of these lists. Quantity (of readers/clicks) does not always necessarily mean quality and […]

This is a quick blog post to update you what is going on with TBB. I could have done a post about some Friday restaurant bonus or to remind you for the 146th time to register for some card’s 5x category and pumped some credit cards but I am not going to fake it, I […]
