Breaking: New survey reveals which airline has the hottest flight attendants. Winner is, please sit down, Emirates. And do not fly Frontier, really. Then again, when you see AirTran on the list you know…
This blog is weird…it has unexplained fascination with things like North Korea, drones, photography, money, The Points Guy Inc, Titan blogs, credit card pumping, greed…and the quirkiest topic of all that no other blogs dare to post! What’s that you ask? Sex with Robots of course. Sex robots may kill us one day…Actually, it may be a sweet way to go considering the alternatives woohoo! Would you rather read something like this or the 1,456th way that this _____________(substitute accordingly per $ highest commission rate) travel rewards credit card will help you travel for freeee? So tiring, WAKE UP!
9 ways to save on taxes in retirement is today’s personal finance fix.

BLOG BUZZ
This section is for advanced hobbyists!
Mile Nerd does a Q&A and says goodbye for the holidays. MUST read! I am so honored to have my blog recommended (one of three)! And he got a second offer to sell, wow! Like I said, take a few moments to read this post, I love it when he does this longer type posts!
The miles and points blog space is boring me to tears lately. Way too many blogs out there, everyone posting mostly crap, repeating each other, trying to sound excited while faking it all along…I swear if 95% 99% of the blogs disappeared tomorrow it would not make an iota of a difference. It is just sad…I think Tahsir nailed it when he commented yesterday “There is nothing left to write and I’m not one to repeat“. I swear, if I had a CSR app for every single item I saw more than once….I would own The Points Guy Inc! And then I would make Julian/Devil’s Advocate work 24/7 while firing everyone else hehe.
Garuda had a 90% off award sale. I am way beyond getting excited by such things anymore. I scan the fine print quick and move on. I saw that I had to open an account while its website had some issues, then I had to transfer points from Citi Thank You Rewards network that take a few days, I can not put an award on hold, they don’t fly to/from the US and, the kicker, I had to go to one of four offices to ticket the darn thing. While all along seeing Titan blogs publishing copying this while selling Citi cards…Phuck meeeeeeeee! So I can have a selfie in a flat bed seat sipping Krug and eating caviar, no thanks! This post has some warning language about Garuda and Indonesia in general. Of course it would be more useful if some blogs were called out by name that were going nuts about this deal…but…have you seen any Boarding Area blogs call out others in the same network? Me neither 🙂
You can use a VPN to get the best offers from Amex. If you do that, ExpressVPN (my referral link) is awesome!
I had a nightmare the other day…Mile Nerd sold out and got hired by The Points Guy, nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
And I leave you with this…

ok now I’m really taking a break
The legend grows…
What do we do now the P/E ratios are at such high levels, and total stock market value compared to GDP as well? The market seems pretty over valued but interest rates are still low and even if you believe we’re due for a correction you’ve got no idea when it will come — next month? three years? who the heck knows.
Nobody knows, therefore I diversify 🙂
Rebalance, have some cash, be ready for 20-30% when it comes, keep on saving, enjoy your life to its fullest.
George, thank you for your blog. You are going strong, keeping us entertained and I am thankful for that.
Merry Christmas,
PedroNY
I need to rebalance myself here too 🙂
Not going anywhere…at least not yet.
Merry Christmas and thanks for the support along the way. You are up there with…ScottCastle 🙂
Stop and read one thing today:

Oh my… just the thought of MileNerd selling out to TPG made me sick to my stomach.
But more importantly… BEST. GIF. EVAAAAAAAAR!
Notice he did not say he rejected it…oh oh.
I got more awesome gifs already for next week!
Maybe Sunday #hint ScottCastle
“There is nothing left to write and I’m not one to repeat“
[nods head sadly]
VFTW is now doing commentary on incidents aboard plane…yikes!
I expect Tagging Miles to be impressed and link to him every day. #biggestfanever
On rating who has the hottest flight attendants:
There was a book years ago that described the ‘talents’ of FAs with each airline. For UA it said:
“Sleeping with a UA flight attendant is like sleeping with your wife”.
I gave a copy to a friend of mine whose wife was–natch–a UA flight attendant.
Awesome!
Looking forward to IVANKA2024, I’ll be strokin!!!

Awesome! I like obscure run down places like that, much better than Vendome and bungalows in the Maldives! I will link to it in the body of a blog post coming up, thanks!
Merry Christmas, George!
Thank you Jed, same to you!
Re: GI 90% off deal
What a bunch of bullsht with too many hoops to jump (was my thought).
Anyway….I feel bad for anyone who bought in and transferred miles from citi and come to find out that the promo is over after 1 day. I hope bloggers didn’t try to sell the citi card or whatever based on this “deal”. I might then get pissed.
also,
Merry Christmas George
keep it up, Seth
I swear when they saw that, the first thought was “oh wow, I can pump this to sell more Thank You credit cards”. Maybe not on the same post but soon afterwards 🙂
Deal of the year or century, bullshit! Like you said, so many hoops dealing with an unreliable hard to deal with airline…and then getting to their few offices in person…over the holidays. LOL
Merry Christmas to you Seth, thanks.
And to all!
Post scheduled for tomorrow. Short 3 Links I love type. Come by as you are digesting all the food you stuffed yourself with hehe.
