It has been like this since Day One. It’s been a blast. Thanks for reading.
Mile Nerd at it again. Diary of a domestic flight. LOL material, woohoo! I would rather read this instead of another Titanic headline about dildos or porn or peeing on a plane or Bieber or Selena Gomez or One Direction or, heaven forbid, yet another post “X days left for XYZ credit card, HURRY, LAST CHANCE”:
Part man, part puppy. I shall call him muppy.
Goodbye sweet muppy. We’ve landed in Austin (where 98% of muppies are from).
What!? He just pulled out a flip phone! What year is this!? Time has no meaning anymore.
He’s now officially on the top 20 most interesting human list.
Well, the Chinese bought Carlson Hotels. Should you be worried about Club Carlson points? I agree with Loyalty Traveler, the answer is probably not. But we also get a very nice history of this company from a blogger who never thought of himself as a travel thought leader 🙂
Register for Hilton’s new hotel promotion for stays starting May 1 through August 31. Double Points Every Day Every Hotel.
Ranking bank bans that would hurt the most. Entertaining post. Clap, clap, clap. I always advocated to not be a hog—–>slaughter! You can’t play the game if you are banned!
When something breaks at Reddit about a new card, from Benz this time, I enjoy checking to see which blogger posts it first. This time it was, in order: Danny The Deal Guru, MileCards, DEMFlyers. We are talking just minutes apart. Your Titan bloggers are taking their time and likely not post anything since there is no affiliate link for it #sosad.
Big Habitat is back with a very entertaining post explaining the reasons for his absence!
12 best places in the US to check out wildlife.
Inside Prince’s massive $10 million mansion. Holy cow! He did not even have a will #evenmoresad
Your personal finance fix of the day: 4 Lies We Tell Ourselves That Can Sabotage Our Retirement. Excellent post!
Yomadic with another post on Iran. I should probably start looking for my flight arrangements for my trip in October sometime soon, I can’t wait!
The original selfie stick. From 1934. Wow.
And I leave you with this…

It’s Easter for the Christian Orthodox folks. Invited to a mega feast on Sunday, lots of lamb will be consumed. I hope I control myself.
U all Buzzers have a great weekend!

Hope you didn’t stay up too late reading all the Freddie’s porn!
TBBTheManHimself says
I did!

I went to one of them. For free.
Marriott always wins. Which shows you how valid these are. Does anyone care really other than the ones self congratulating themselves and using it as PR opp?
Kumar says
What happened to DOC? Got sick? By the way, question to my boss Ramsey – If a Doctor falls sick, would he go to another doctor?
ABC says
Vacation.
TBBTheManHimself says
Persisting with a blog as a one-time band (me) is a herculean task.
Hercules was Greek hehe
Ramsey says
Thoughts and Prayers go out to Doctor Of Credit………………………..keep the faith Kumar and say a prayer.
smittytabb says
He’s a PhD. doc not a doc doc.

Thinking about doing this for my wife. But I have so many airline credits to keep track and don’t need more 🙂

EricB & Rakim says
Do they still offer hip-hop necklaces?

@Buzz, when some newsworthy item breaks on Reddit Churning (or anywhere else for that matter), it becomes a thought for the THOUGHT LEADER (with his I know it all spin, of course). Although his blog looks more like the TMZ OF TRAVEL lately, it’s even crappier then my annoying comments here. HT KUMAR
BRAKING NEWS says
BRAKING NEWS!!! FROM REDDIT!!! http://imgur.com/gallery/IFXxkrr do not forget you saw it here at TBB first!!!

I can’t even imagine when they get an affiliate link for the Amex MB Plat… We saw what happened with the Amex Hilton 100k offer…
TBBTheDude says
You “d better believe what happens next!
Jordan says
Any idea why Doctor of Credit hasnt posted in a while?
TBBTheDude says
He is on vacation.

Hope you saw the FT link to Brian’s Hamptons house!
Raffles says
Sorry, just spotted you posted it originally! Was on my iPhone so missed it.
Showed my wife and wants me to sell 😉
GringoLoco says
Just think of this:
With TBB’s vast earnings from Amazon, he can make the down payment on such a spread…
in 200000000 years!

GringoLoco says
Anyone else notice that TPG’s manse is on KETTLE Ct?
Oh the irony just drips….
TBBTheDude says
To all:
The move to new WordPress theme and new host provider is well underway!
Due to this and the Greek Easter holiday TBB is going to take Sunday off from posting.
Should be back on Monday!
TBBon!
smittytabb says
New look is great. Really polished and easy to read. Kudos and hope your Easter is perfect!
TravelBloggerBuzz says
Second positive feedback on it. I was really aiming for that clean/polished look! Web design guy expensive but worth it 🙂
Thank you!
Sam says
The Sunday post is late. I imagine Buzz is wrapping up his speech at the FlyerTalk University meeting in Vegas. They put him in the tough 4am slot-his talk is titled “Pump This, Pal”.
I hope he’ll post his slides later.
Sam says
No Sunday post? Oh, man-first Redbird, now this.
