We are going to do a case study how bloggers have taken over our little hobby and made it an arena of mega credit card selling to uninformed newbies who are kept in the dark. But hope it’s on the way. Here comes TBB sabotaging his own commercial success to dispense in your face advice and educate the people. And entertain us all as well. For legal reasons I must say that everything here is based on my own opinion and should not be relied up for any action you may take or thoughts that may form in your brain. Be responsible you know š
TBB Blog Mission: To Entertain. Educate. Inspire. In That Order!
Support TBB by applying for CREDIT CARDS, shopping with our AMAZON AFFILIATE LINK & clicking our REFERRAL LINKS
It is Friday night on January 18th, 2018 and it is the day Amex made available on its website public links for four new Hilton Honor cards. I am going to show you what happens around the land of “expert” miles and points bloggers when there is new “product” to sell. I did this case study a long time ago which is one of my masterpieces. Which means it made me laugh a lot and I think some of you learned something and we were definitely entertained! Don’t expect another one like that, this is going to be shorter. Which goes to explain what has happened in this little hobby of ours ever since it became a big business with these blogs acting as the product credit card sales departments of banks.
So, let me tell you something. These blogs MUST SELL the credit cards to get paid. No sale, no dinero. So, even if the cards suck, you will see that they will not tell you that but instead keep pounding to you all the benefits and how much you can do with them. You need to identify and call out BULLSHIT when you see them doing that. Of course, if you do that, you can rest assured you become that angry guy and you never get their help (backlinks) to grow your blog. Like I give a shit to grow my blog, I am the guy who I thought SEO was an airport code!
Ok, lets get back on track. So we have the new AMEX Hilton cards. It IS an exciting development because we now have four new credit cards in the market ready for sale, something that does not happen much lately. This is when bloggers start salivating,
writing draft glowing posts about the new offers and then…waiting for the affiliate links to be released. But, you hate it when that happens and you want to punch some bank executive.
What you ask. Banks holding off on releasing the affiliate links for the four new cards! Only public links for almost the whole first day! Public means you apply and no blogger gets paid. Of course they all kept silent except a few who at least have some built in ethics and credit card sales is not a primary component of their existence.
So the BIG money is in the direct affiliate links, you know, those beautiful blue links with the name of the credit card that when you click, voila, you get to apply right there on your screen!
The banks have consolidated down to a very small number of BIG producers who get these lucrative links. The rest of us use the indirect affiliate links which is what I am using here in my site. These are the ones you have to keep clicking and hunting to find that specific card you are looking for. Well, let me tell you something. This process is MUCH harder! And it shows in how many cards I sell here lol.
But lets get back to what really mattes. Are these new Amex Hilton cards for you? How the phuck should I know? I don’t know anything about you! I don’t know first if you can handle it, can you? This is a dangerous hobby and you can get messed up for life messing with these credit cards. Weapons of mass destruction were never found in Iraq but these bloggers are pushing them every single day to the masses. Hell, anyone who can apply and get approved that is! As a famous former blog founder who trolls my site here (his name is Ingy, the blogger “first with links, first to sell” so early!) told me years ago: “It’s ALL about conversions”. Conversion is when a blog reader applies and gets approved for a credit card from your site.
I got distracted again. So, lets get back to the new AMEX Hilton cards. For me to answer properly if you should apply for these cards I need to know a lot about you first! You can get an idea if this is for you in this blog post. So, the right answer is always that it depends! If I wanted to maximize my income here from you…of course I would make it sound like HELL YES, you can get 100k points, Diamond Status, free nights, free airline credits, hurrrrry!, limited time! and other hideous sales expressions tailored after drug dealers or Amway salespersons or you know what I mean.
So let me just say a few things about these new Amex Hilton cards. There are four of them. The highest signup bonus juice is 100k Hilton Honors points. Which these days, after repeated vicious devaluations, gets you jack shit. Maybe a night in their top properties when it is not busy if you are lucky and maybe a few more nights in run down Hampton Inns. So, if you are looking for a big bang with these cards…you are probably looking at the wrong program okay?
Are they right for me in my household? Well, it depends again. We have a love affair with Hiltons in my household with many wonderful family experiences over the years (most in early 2000s when the program rocked in hacking terms that is). And we are down to less than 200k Hilton Honors points which is weird. And I just canceled my Hilton Surpass card after holding it for so many years, I felt a bit emotional letting that baby go. So we have no Hilton cards. At all. Which is VERY weird. And we are running out of cards we are eligible for. And I think I can make use of the bennies in the Aspire card to make it worth it to me because another thing you must remember is that we bloggers can deduct all them annual fees! So give me $250 airline credit, give me potentially another resort credit, Diamond status, a free night and blah blah blah other tiny bennies and yes I can swing the $450 annual fee. Besides, I am going to can the Chase Sapphire Reserve.
Anyway, my point is…we are all different. We are all at different stages with different goals, time frames and circumstances. You can ask questions, I love to help. And regulars in the comments love to help. Just be aware that the salesmen bloggers WANT YOU TO GET THE CREDIT CARDS FROM THEM okay? If not, they will lose the links and then they may have to quit blogging and get a real job or something. And you bet what cards we in my household go for, if they exist in my own affiliate links, will be applied for here. High five, gotta love it when we maximize taking from the banks lol.
After that long intro, lets have some fun. So the four credit cards became available on January 18th. And you find…silence from the blogs. I mean, this is one of the biggest developments in this hobby and all the blogger “experts” were all silent! Except a few linking to the public (non-affiliate) offers listed in the Amex website itself. You can feel the salesmen bloggers cringing their teeth all day and keep hitting that refresh button to see if the affiliate links showed up. Nope. And then boom! Curiously, a card that even if you try VERY hard… you should probably never get excited about…Drum Roll…First one out of the gate was:
One Mile at a Time – ApplyĀ Now For The New Hilton Honors American Express Business Card
Well, he got right to the point in the headline, didn’t he? Apply Now. Wow! Let’s just look at how these online marketing experts push product with my incendiary commentary always in brackets:
“Thatās a solid sign-up bonus, and just about all small business owners with good to excellent credit should be eligible for it, given that this card is brand new.” [Wow, I am amazed…wait there is more!]
After cut and paste of the marketing text copy with the benefits of the card…we get…
Thatās an all around very solid bonus. On top of that, keep in mind that there are some advantages to applying for an Amex small business card: [blah blah blah ‘very solid bonus…come on, you can do better!]
But wait…lets go for the close!
TheĀ Hilton Honors American Express Business CardĀ is a fantastic new card that lots of people should be eligible for, given that itās a new product. The card has a generous sign-up bonus, offers Honors Gold status for as long as you have the card, and makes it easy to earn 1-2 weekend night certificates annually, assuming you put a considerable amount of spend onto the card. [If I have the card in bold, that means it is an affiliate link. Only big pushers get those, sad!]
Number of direct affiliate links: 3 [come on man, you can do better than this!]
Second right out of the gate was:
Points, Miles & Martinis – NewĀ Up To 100,000 Sign Up Bonus Offer
I was expecting this blog to beat One Mile at a Time because they NEVER miss an opportunity to line up their own pockets.
Today, American Express is out withĀ a great new offer (on a new product) where you can earn up to 100,000 Hilton Honors Bonus Points! Ā In addition, the Hilton Honors American Express Business Card also comes with many great benefits like the chance to earn free weekend nights, free status, rack up the Hilton Honors points and more! [you see how excited they are…for the sales commissions they will earn!]
…you get quite a bit of bang for this annual fee. With the up to 100k bonus Hilton Honors points plus the possibility to earn up to 2 free weekend night rewards after putting some considerable targeted spend on the card, are both really nice benefits! [it’s like pure heroine you guys, it sells itself! And this is a weak card, just imagine what they will come up with for the Aspire card lol ]
American Express small business cards are typically pretty easy to get approved for. You donāt have to have a big business to have a business card. If you have a small business, (for example, even if you sell onĀ eBayĀ or rent your house out onĀ AirBnB) you donāt need an EIN to apply for a Business card, you can use your Social Security number instead and put downĀ thatĀ that you are a sole proprietor. [ As a CPA I hate this shitty advice from salesmen, this should be illegal! Oh, the eBay was an affiliate link, they NEVER miss an opportunity to trick their readers to click on them. This blog will pump Starbucks affiliate links for targeted promos, WTF! I guess the readers click on them like…sheep! It is amazing and sickening to watch. In my own opinion<——my counsel advised me to add this]
Number of direct affiliate links: 5 (one of them was the Amex Platinum card, oh that baby pays a FAT commission!]
Mommy Points – Earn up to 100,000 Bonus Points With New Hilton Amex Business Card!
Of course we get another valued salesperson here. Can you tell she is excited?
In my mind, those are very reasonable spending targets for 100,000 Hilton Honors bonus points on this small business card! [Of course, sell it girl!]
Thatās a lot of spending, but it is also pretty darn unique to be able to earn two weekend award nights valid on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, at the majority of the Hilton properties around the world every single year from just one credit card [Keep spending, you want the two weekend freeeeee nights and I want that damn sales commission, do you hear me? SPEEEEEEEEEEEND, see how easy it is, you need more cards to spend money on so you can travel for freeeeee! ]
…this is a brand new product that none of us have had before, so that isnāt a barrier! [isn’t a barrier??? Lol, that’s a new one to me! And I thought I have heard it all!]
She lists the other three cards with links to the Amex website….Naaaaaah, of course not, that will hurt conversions! When those $$$$ affiliate links come out, she will likely update the post with the $$$ affiliate links. It’s ALL about conversions, never forget that!
Number of direct affiliate links: 2 [that’s it? She needs to go to sales school, come on!]
Million Mile Secrets – EarnĀ 100,000 Points & Stay Under the ā5/24 Ruleā With This Brand New AMEX Hilton Card!
Oh yeah…now we are talking real sales pros! Watch how it is done you boys and girls!
This is a terrific sign-up bonus, and the card comes withĀ lots of other perks! [No, it is NOT. But hey, they won’t say that, WAKE UP!]
Wait, just getting started here…
Plus, because AMEX business cards donāt show up on your personal credit report, signing up for this cardĀ wonāt count towards Chaseās ā5/24ā rule! And getting approved for a small business card is easier than you think. [ I warned you, this is how you SELL to the newbies who don’t know much!]
The AMEX Hilton Business Card is open for business, and it looks enticing! [“enticing”…I have not seen this term before. I am sure online marketing research studies have shown it increases conversions!]
The $95 annual fee is NOT waived for the first year.Ā But Iād gladly pay it to earn 100,000 Hilton points and free Gold elite status! [Smooth pumpers hey? Of course if you had an idea that the sales commission it generates may be more than the annual fee it would, just maybe, make you think twice that this blog may not have YOUR best interest in mind but just wanted to maximize its own sales to make more money. Hell, what do I know?]
The weekend nights youāll earn after spending $15,000 and $45,000 on purchases in a calendar year is an excellent benefit.Ā You can use these weekend nights at almost any Hilton hotel, including the Conrad Koh Samui, which can easily cost $600+ per night! [You should be starting to feel angry about this mega shit…enticing people to spend $60,000 for two free nights. But hey, lets impress them with redeeming for a night that costs $600+ (in bold font of course)…I mean, this is how you SELL to morons!]
After having the nerve to mention the Shoprunner program benefit and a few others, of course they conclude with…
All of these benefits make this a very valuable card for just a $95 annual fee! [Shocking, just shocking1]
Qualifying for a small business card isnāt as complicated as you might think.Ā You donāt need to be a million dollar corporation to open a small business card.Ā You can use your own name as theĀ legal business name.Ā And your social security number as your business tax ID! [Wow…is it wrong when thoughts like this pop into your brain? Nope!]
Then they have the nerve to list “activities” that can help you pretend you have a business so you can apply and they can make money from you. This should be illegal, WTF do they know about businesses and taxes , etc. I am now watching my blood pressure go way up!
I stop, the blog post just keeps repeating the same crap over and over. It’s like reading at Kindergarten level. And you think I am going to go give them an interview so I can get some clicks come my way like so many other bloggers? No way Jose, you have to stand for something!
For new readers, this blog has been sold to Bankrate years ago and now it is just a big business trying to maximize profits targeting newbies and selling them credit cards every freaking day. The founders used to be married but then divorced and stayed as business partners. Whatever. I do miss the idiotic mother in law rule though #notreally. But for some reason, having the ex wife appear in numerous pictures holding credit cards or dollar bills is, to me, very disturbing. Hey, we are all different.
Number of direct affiliate links: 7 (along with numerous others….I mean my eyeballs bleed every time I go to that site for YOU!]
It is still Friday January 18 and the only affiliate link out is the Amex Hilton Business credit card, so sad for the credit card salesmen bloggers. But hey, you gotta sell what you can!!!
Next one up…
View From The Wing – First-EverĀ Hilton Business Card Now Live With 100,000 Point Offer
Oh, the self proclaimed travel thought leader of this space…Time to sell baby!
All four products are now available. In this post Iām going to focus on the business card, since itās the first time thereās been a small business card product from Hilton and because it may represent the best āvalueā out of the new cards. [Spare us the bullshit, you would be focusing on all four cards if their own affiliate links were out to and not just the one you can make money on! My blood is starting to boil again…watch out!]
This is a great card for Hilton status, and spend on the card can make sense because of the free weekend nights [You know the card sucks when even this guy just can’t get more excited than this, yawn!]
Number of direct affiliate links: 4 (one being the Amex Platinum card…They LOVE this card because you won’t believe the fat sales commissions it pays to them!]
Deals We Like –Ā A New Hilton Business Credit Card ā Earn up to 100,000 Bonus Points!
Never far behind from an opportunity to sell to readers, this blog should be renamed Deals We Like to Get Paid Only! A huge part of selling is to build that excitement, can you feel it?
This is a brand new product which means everyone is eligible for the new member offer (as long as you are approved and meet the minimum spend requirement!). And since this is a business card, it will not count against your Chase ā5/24ā card count! [Bloggers selling plastic you guys!]
I also love that this is a brand new product which means that if you have already received the card offer for the two previous Hilton American Express offers, you are still eligible for this offer.Ā There is also one more brand new Hilton Amex offer that Iāll write about soon, although it comes with a $95 annual fee! [She will write about that other new offer as soon as the affiliate link is out #guaranteed]
Number of direct affiliate links: 3.
The Points Guy is always so slow with news in our space and everything in general. Except in one area of course: Selling Credit Cards! So, they were next…
The Points Guy – Earn up to 100k Points With the New Hilton Honors Amex Business Card
Based on our latest valuations, 100,000 Hilton Honors points are worth $600. Luckily, earning the full 100k bonus doesnāt require meeting an insanely high spending requirement ā a total of $4,000 is still lower than what youāll need to spend to earn other top business card sign-up bonuses.
If you rely on “valuations” from this site you need to have your head examined! They are probably working on a more glorious post soon, likely to come out when the other three affiliate links become available lol. This blog is also owned by Bankrate and if you think YOUR well being comes first…well what can I say? You are hopeless, friends don’t let friends click on TPG links #THINK!
Still Friday January 18th and the three new Amex Hilton card affiliate links are still missing, WTF is going on! Why are you doing this to your sales force Amex? Only have the other three cards in your website (and Hilton’s) without allowing bloggers to make some dinero pushing them HARD. So bloggers keep pushing the only affiliate link released, the Amex Hilton Business credit card.
But wait a minute, next we get…
Million Mile Secrets –Ā At Long Last!Ā You Can Now Apply for All 4 AMEX Hilton Cards!
You bet as soon as I saw this post I went to my own website and tracked down my credit card links to see if all four affiliate links were now up…but nope. No change. Just the business card is still available. So, did this blogger get them all suddenly? It appears not and the three card links point to the public offers in the Hilton website. This gets this blog a few brownie points or, more like it, it makes it a whole lot easier to add the affiliate links by editing this post when they are out #BRILLIANT! Since they already pumped the affiliate link much earlier in the day, it was time to get another post in and lay them all out ready for editing…hopefully soon. Hey, this is what the staff is for!
You know you have to reach waaaaay deep to find something positive to say for the crappy 50k no annual fee Amex Hilton credit card offer:
I love that Hilton has removed foreign transaction fees from this card.Ā If you have any overseas travel coming up, you donāt have to be afraid to bring this along! [Yes, they bolded that part, lol]
Next, we have the Ascend card…
…cardās perks can easily offset the annual fee. If you are able to earn the free weekend night, you save hundreds at an expensive hotel.Ā And the 10 free Priority Pass lounge visits can give you escape from the noisy terminal, and help you avoid paying for expensive airport food. [I bet you when they get paid they come back here and edit these to make them sound like REALLY exciting and how you must hurryyyyyy!]
Every year youāll also get 1 weekend night you can use at most Hilton locations!Ā And youāll get an additional weekend night if you spend $60,000 on your card in a calendar year.Ā So you could end up with a weekend at the Conrad Bora Bora Nui, which costs $800+ per night! [You see how they make it so enticing hey? The Conrad Bora Bora Nui at $800+ per night, wow! Phuck meeeee! You may go bankrupt to get there but waaaaaait, do they have other credit cards to sell you so you can fly there for freeeeeee? You bet sucker!]
This is a no-brainer card if you like staying with Hilton. [No brainer card. WTF is this like selling crack or what? Hey, whatever it takes to SELL baby!]
Of course, never ever say no to sell credit cards that pay you so we go for another round of selling the Amex Hilton Business credit card (see above for my feelings toward it). But wait…
This could be a great card for business owners who travel frequently, because youāll earn bonus points on select airfare and rental car expenses.Ā And you can earn up to 2 weekend nights, plus Hilton Diamond status, if you hit certain spending thresholds! [Wow, you guys, earn bonus points on airfare and rental cars? You don’t say??? Sign me up pronto——newbie target reader. Sad!]
So Iām ecstatic about these new AMEX Hilton cards. [Ecstatic is not the same as orgasmic! I did not know what else to say as I got ready for cleanup after all this hideous pumping of plastic!]
Number of direct affiliate links: Too many to count, my eyes are too precious to ruin counting all the blue links you guys. And I have no staff, I hope you understand, thanks!
The Points Guy – New Hilton Amex Cards Launch With Bonuses of up to 100k Points
It is now January 19. After coming right out of the gate selling the Amex Hilton Business credit card as soon as the affiliate link came out, it only took this site, the #1 seller of travel rewards credit cards, to put its clout into overdrive and voila somehow it is the only site having the affiliate links for the Ascend card as well. Hey, you produce sales and you get exclusivity baby! But still no affiliate links for the no annual fee Amex and the premium Aspire card. Not sure what is going on but of course you get the big sell here for the two cards they make money selling of course.
Number of direct affiliate links: 4 (Warning: don’t get hit in the face with the numerous other cards plastered all over the site. Be careful, for your eyes only!]
Then relatively quiet selling the Amex Hilton cards as their affiliate links are so late coming….But wait, on January 22, we have the grand daddy of miles blogs, Frugal Travel Guy, the one who started it all and showed the way to legions of credit card salesmen to pump their readers mercilessly and greatly contribute to destroy our little obscure weird little hobby…The founder, trolling my blog since Day 1, sold way too early and left millions on the table for all the marketers above, so sad! They are so informed and in tune with the hobby there they had a post how to get Hilton points by transferring from American Express Membership Rewards points. Hello? What is going there? Nobody knows about the four new Amex Hilton cards? You did not get any affiliate links by January 22nd? Oh please…Why doesn’t Internet Brands kill it it is beyond me. Talk about legacy huh? I seriously don’t know anyone who still reads that blog! Well, at least they make more sales than my blog woohoo!
This fierce plastic selling will continue of course, it NEVER stops. Just a few selections from January 22nd so you see what my eyes see every day. For you!
I don’t get paid much to do this you guys….
Hope you enjoyed this and learned something. Be careful out there!
And I leave you with this…Oh, hi Ingy!

MAGA
Hope Ramsey and Ingy give me a positive review for this one at least? š
I made a few slight edits in the post, added another gif.
Did you hear about the Fairmont Presidents club development? Extending status and certs until Feb 2019. Iām stoked.
Yep, got it too. Very nice offer. I guess they heard a lot of whining from members about the move to Le Suck. But…only for one year. After that not much for Fairmont Lifetime Plats.
Looking to do the two stays…trying to see if the Accor Private Sale is a “qualifying stay”. I found about $250 in Fairmont gift cards I had lost track of…they were in a pocket in my backpack I never used #winning
Iām doing two stays too.. one at the Washington DC location on a wicked gold floor rate of $260 including parking. The other at Lake Louise. So Iām paying $200 Canadian for the upgrade to a one bedroom suite lake view. Thatās like $160 for a killer view.
Thanks for ākeeping it realā homie. Notice they push the Amex Platinum when the Ameriprise version may be better due to no annual fee. I just cancelled my turkey day one (personal)and got that one for lounge access and SW gift cards. What they pump is not always best for your situation as your post points out.
Exactly…
The Ameriprise will NEVER get pumped from these guys…no sales commission involved. It is major BS! No shame, they are successful blogs. And I am a failing one. But in the eyes of my mother I am #1 and will always be so š
I think it’s probably ok that they don’t push the Ameriprise version. I’ve never used them for anything, except the free year of platinum…
A post to treasure!
Thanks.
Can someone check on Ingy to make sure he is all right, thanks!
Great work, Buzz. Shameless shills who follow the lead of their industry founder.
I should get a crowdfunding going to get that horse model built š
Outstanding post George! Excellent work and very entertaining (and hopefully enlightening to the folks who don’t know what really goes in behind this).
The bunny toilet GIF…I’m gonna have nightmares now, lol!
To the reader who sent me that gif…let me know if you want and how to HT you…
I still have nightmares about it lol.
Just happy you enjoyed it. Disturbing and hilarious all at once!
Good post, thank you. I plan to use your Hilton Business links when time comes.
Cheers,
PedroNY
Thanks.
Me too….I got a whiny post from a blogger saying it is all Amex’s fault. Got a good point.
As of Tuesday 10 am…I still see only the Amex Hilton Business credit card affiliate link up.
Hold on everyone when the Aspire affiliate link comes out it will be an all go merry round pumping orgy all over again, sad!
In completely unrelated news, credit cards defaults are rapidly rising:

Vintage TBB at its finest! Well done George, well done. Reminded me of how I became a reader.
I could do this every day but if I did I may be joining Daraius paying alimony and in 2018 is not deductible! š
LOT’S OF GOOD STUFF HERE
CHEERS, STEPHEN.
impressive work today george. clear points. those bloggers are scam artists but they do it in the open every day so people forget how bad it is. this post helps.
Georgie Boy, Loved the “Make Amex Great Again” HT to Oliver. You just asked for the credit. It was his line. Typical TBB
As far as the rest of your whiney post and follow up comments, I never met a blogger that pushed the readers “Apply Now” button.
You know, that pesky “personal accountability” thing š
Is that all you can come up with?
Yawn.
Sad yawn.
You never met one blogger who pushes apply now. I guess they don’t want to meet you who sold out cheap!
One Mile at a Time – Apply Now for the Hilton Amex Business Credit Card
Obviously never met him lol.
So many conversions left on the table, sooooo sad!
Cool story, bro.
Toilet bowl GIF……………………..Approved!
I couldn’t help myself.
So what to do in Auckland in June?
Watch the World Cup from a safe place.
Such Ignorance here. I said pressed the “Apply Now” button for the reader.. Can’t you clowns understand the simple fact that the blogger supplies the info and the Reader pushes the APPLY NOW button?
The action that, you all claim causes the problem, is initiated by the reader himself. He is responsible for his own actions.
George will remember Earl Schieb the car painting guy in 22 states from from 1937 til 2010. Cheap and lousy paint jobs from what I hear. But he never painted a car until the car owner said “Paint the car”
When the blog reader hits the apply now button. He and He alone made the decision to apply. And when the reader decides (if he does) not to make the payments and fulfill his obligations caused by his actions, that also is his personal responsibility and decision.
When you can start to accept your own personal responsibility for your own actions, you’ll become real adults and can climb out of your basements.
Grow up and join the Real World
OR, yo can continue to blame your problems on others. How’s that working for you?
Seriously don’t you think you sold out early and cheaply at first hint of of green? Wondering these kids making a killing using your pioneer tricks and click baiting articles m
Great to hear that you sleep well at night.
In this context, blogger=salesrep = wolf in sheep’s clothing.
I think he watches reruns of the “Boiled Room” at night in his shed. You can see why he sold first years before he should have!
I think it is working pretty well for me, I retired at 50 and I am typing this from the Conrad in Maldives. Of course it was not free getting here but I can sure afford it.
When I get back I hope I can give George the Aspire card app…Not sure why Amex is doing that with the sales reps but this blog post today just nailed what kind of people we are dealing with, thank you Sir.
Ingy, you really are such a lametard, a pimp that traffics in misery, you deserve the opobrium that is heaped on you here
First off, learn to spell “opprobrium”
Chevy dealers sell Chevies. You won’t see them advertising Ford F150’s
McDonalds sells the Big Mac. You won’t see a Whopper in one of their ads.
They sell what they get paid for you libtard. It is called capitalism. The blogs sell the cards they get paid for in most cases. And to think you clowns have gone on for over 5 years now, whining about this basic capitalistic concept, is amazing to me.
Maybe you do need to live in Bernie’s socialism, where the government makes these decisions for you.
“What car should I buy?
What fast food restaurant should I go to?
Which credit card should I get?
I’m not smart enough to make the decision on my own”
1. Chevy dealers do sell Fords. Did you not realize that dealerships sell used cars?
2. I don’t think you understand socialism.
3. Asking “which card should i get?” because you’re not smart enough to make the decision on your own is the reason that TPG and MMS are doing so well.
