DD has always been pushing the shitty 30k offer and telling their reader to SM Chase to match like there was no tomorrow. Probably as shitty as the titans.

Titans have bills to pays and they are much bigger than $50.

I almost did a separate blog post like the old times doing a play by play of which blogger screwed their readers out of $50. But then I decided I better not get back into that angry mode, I have better things to do with my time. Besides, it would require me to visit their blogs which I am ignoring!

I am surprised about Mommy Points so brownie points for her I guess.

Yep, down with FTG, VFTW, OMAAT…those I was aware. FTG saw it in a tweet and the other two I get the emails. Major barf time. To all who patronize these blogs (attending or presenting) in conferences and such…I think you are contributing to the disease so no brownie points for you.

I also noticed many other blogs mentioning the better non affiliate offer which I think is great! Hey $50 is $50….bloggers go all haywire about saving $10 (while pumping other plastic links in posts) and here it is a whole $50 and they conveniently omit it or (as you indicate) forget about it because they are nowhere near the world’s most renown expert on travel (wink: they know, “it’s all about conversions”).

But the bloggers pushing the better offer for their readers have a major flaw in their posts that allows this shitty practice to go on. They NEVER name names so their readers will keep a mental note of who is the irresponsible greedy plastic pusher…And that is so sad.

And now watch 🙂

Not so the Titans. Comment on VFTW hours ago noted the $50 credit but Gary answered that he’s in a seminar. Too busy so far, I guess, to find 5 minutes to get point readers to the better deal.

And Ben at OMAAT found time to answer a later comment but not the earlier one that noted the $50 credit. No change to his post yet.

Of course Frugal Travel Guy hasn’t mentioned the better deal with a $50 credit either. However, to be fair, I don’t know if that’s because they know about it and want to protect the commissioned link, or they are too numb to realize the better deal is out there. You say World Expert, I say “Who’s that man behind the curtain?”.

So a blogger seven months pregnant whose husband was out of work recently takes the high road. As Dylan put it “..,,while my conscience explodes”.

Meanwhile, Ben surmises that more than 15,000 people may have filed DOC complaints over the UA Denmark mistake fare. I am just shocked, shocked, at the greed.

I have a binder full of experts 🙂

Really? Well that blows. I could understand Greenland but I thought at least one alliance partner airline would make it to Faroe Islands.

Hey. it’s about responsibility 🙂

You are very welcome. It is incredibly liberating not to deal with phony travel experts whose only expertise is online marketing.

I checked yesterday and as best I can tell there’s no way to get there with miles (aside from Arrival+ and the like). Ditto for Greenland.
