I love haters, I must admit it. If there were no haters I would have quit a long time ago #truth. I find it incredibly educational learning how some people think and behave online. While shaking my head. Thank you.
Every day I curate for you what I find educational, entertaining and sometimes inspiring. I do not have “original” content here (just original commentary lol), there are so many blogs out there with amazing content #coughalot. Frankly, I don’t have the time to do that AND keep up with 201 blogs (used to be over 600 back in the day!). When I have some extra time, I may update my Blog Reviews or finish a Trip report (I am the world’s slowest trip report writer!). Facebook page, growing email subscriber lists, learning SEO & how to monetize…I just don’t bother! Keeping up with Feedly and bringing you the best (you know, the Buzz!) was always the reason this blog was born and still exists! Hey, there is a reason no one has clicked on my Credit Cards page for almost three straight weeks. Lol or cry if you prefer 🙂
Last thing this space needed was yet another blog showing friends and family how to travel for free! Mostly, this is an escape for me and I hope for you too while you laugh a little, sometimes a lot. I even cut the ads because being blitzed by them is way too much for my eyes! If it was not for the positive feedback I get occasionally this baby would have long been parked in the bins of history. I also appreciate the actual action steps some of you take on a regular basis to support the site through the colorful links above. It pleases me seeing some of you do that and it equally pleases me when you let me know you did the same for worthy smaller bloggers as well! Because when you do NOT do that these bloggers QUIT! #sosad When we quit, pumpers win! It rhymes!
The Free-quent Flyer has some interesting thoughts on cash & points award redemptions. Which is pretty relevant to me at the moment as I am pondering whether to blow 80,000 Hilton HHonors points per night at the Conrad Tokyo next summer.
I like the Devil’s Advocate columns at Travel Codex. This one was entertaining trying to be a Chris Elliott and fighting for the right to do it right on the toilet. Or something like that lol.
Expedia acquired Homeaway for, please sit down, $3.9 billion. Crazy!
Officemax appears to have hard coded them giftcards per Miles to Memories. I couldn’t find any anyway after the first couple of days.
This video of 2 guys on jetpacks with an Emirates A380 in Dubai has gone viral! More here.
If you only have three days in Paris. Nice list of what to do.
Excellent Video in 360 of Havana, Cuba.
Bubbles: No One Has Any Idea What’s Going on. Today’s personal finance post. We learn stuff here because I bring you the best. True expertise baby! 🙂
And now for something special. An interview with a dominatrix! “Inside the Private Dungeon of an Elite New York Dominatrix“. I wonder if she is Diamond Elite though? 🙂 Yeah, that will do it for sure, I can feel it #ccclick #nevergiveup #facepalm
Poolside at the W in Koh Samui. Isn’t this an incredible picture or what? Stick Maldives you know where! Oh, you know, there is some type of coup or something over in Maldives. Again.
And I leave you with this inspired by a free crunch wrap at Taco Bell, first time in there after many years. I almost died, it was horrible! It was next to the Sprint store where I had to run into to get another phone charger, darn things are so sensitive! And I just can’t turn down free things you know. Oh, wait…

George, you already get that for free? Please don’t tell me Mrs TBB charges you for ….?
I would make some snarky comments but they may get me in trouble….what the hell?
Always thinking of scaling it up 🙂
That one giving free fucks probably come with free STDs!
The gift that keeps on giving.
When are you going to be in Tokyo next summer? I will be there July 1 -5, I’d love to meetup and we can go see the Robot Show!
And I am blowing ton of Hilton points for the Conrad this time. Lol. Only couple of years ago it was 145,000 for 4 nights with AXON awards, oh the good o’l days….
Cheers,
PedroNY
Looking to get there around June 20 for a couple of days. Darn Delta has lowest level C awards on Wednesdays only it appears and I can not adjust my target dates to leave on Wednesdays!
I stayed at the Hilton Waikoloa Village for 100k points for 5 nights (or was it 5?). Those were the days 🙂
George, I am not a hater. I have defended the blog as much as i have criticized it. Had to write my full thoughts this morning. http://milespointsreselling.com/2015/11/06/how-not-to-blog/
I disagree with your points.
I got better things to do than to try to change your mind. Sometimes we just don’t see eye to eye with some people. It happens.
Some things happening:
Brace yourselves for many posts about the Enterprise Rental car promo. I even got an email from their PR person #titan?
Looks like Discover is not going along with the gift card purchases with their two recent killer promos #sosad
If the AAdvantage news are correct, it is not bad. So the massacre may be postponed for several more months. I still think it is coming eventually.
I saw the new James Bond movie last night. Typical Bond movie. Still lot of fun.
Broken News: More strikes at Lufthansa
George!
I would like to skim some of the “two hundred” sites you check.
Do you have a master index somewhere?
Some of your referenced ones are not on your like, love, ignore groupings.
Thanks, John
Not sure how to post them here at once!
THE SWAMI PREDICTS that the Detroit Lions will NOT LOSE this Sunday. You read correctly!!!! So cash out the kid’s College Fund or get a second mortgage if you have to, The Detroit Lions will not lose this Sunday!!…………………….this information is provided free to the readers of TBB, courtesy of THE SWAMI…………………………pss to Buzz, George I heard the Lions owner Martha Ford on the radio. she sounds hot (I’ll check her out on my crystal ball when it comes back from the shop). Can you hook a (horney) Swami up, my brother?
I knew it was the bye week lol.
She sounds hot? After you see her you will run away faster than a Lion!
