After a fantastic Thanksgiving that came with a wonderful performance by the Detroit Lions, lets catch up with the best blog posts that hit the miles & points blogosphere. If you are into this Black Friday shopping stuff, we sure appreciated it if you use the amazing TBB Amazon link, thank you!
Cashback Monitor was already THE portal tracking website to check. And now it has only gotten better after adding a feature showing credit card earning rates, sweet!
This is a great post on how to use the new United website to book flights stretching your stopovers.
What more benefits do you get for United 1k versus just Platinum Elite? Well, you can find out here if you are hell bent on making Elite I guess.
The AA First Class Award on Cathay Pacific goes up from 67,500 to 110,000 miles one way on March 22, 2016. Award space is tough already and is only going to get worse. Best Cities to Search for Cathay Pacific Award Space.
No blogger ever saw this news that Delta now “promises” to answer every tweet in one hour? And this is how corporate empty promises are made folks, typical Delta!
Several SPG New Member exclusive promotions.
This was really surprising. Air Europa is leaving Air France’s Flying Blue loyalty program to start their own. Hmmm.

Fantastic photos of Porto, Portugal.
A review of the Intercontinental Bora Bora Le Moana vs Thalasso.
How to Maximize Your Retirement Accounts in 2016.
It is amazing how much stuff I find and post here as “TBBBreakingNews” ends up as separate blog posts hours or days later! Like the Hilton Diamond Status Match offer. Only to have Titans finally cover it much later and flood posts with affiliate credit card offers. Including the hideous 40k Platinum card offer that has a $450 annual fee. I mean, it takes a special kind of greedy balls to do that. Amazing how this space has morphed people I used to like into greedy slime balls, eeeeek!
Also amazing what pushback I get from pumping a little more on Twitter trying to shamelessly take advantage of my Amazon link these heavy shopping days while my credit card links have been rotting since October 29. While these same people have nothing to say against the Titans who hideously flood their posts with direct affiliate credit card links, including the hideous 40k Plat link…oh wait, I just said that. And the same people keep linking to these same blogs and idolize them. Amazing, this whole space just amuses the hell out of me sometimes. Maybe that is why I am still here?
Have a great weekend!
And I leave you with this…

Primer! From somewhere in between Florence and Rome…
TBB “you saw it here first”
Aren’t there better things to do in Tuscany (than read TBB)?
As hard as I tried they wouldn’t serve me wine on the fast train, so tbb was a not so close second…
Reading my Google Analytics shows a high percentage of Tuscanians (or is it Tuscaniards?) read TBB.
P.S. Google Analytics is examined as often as Alexa rankings by TBB management #hint
I’m only tuscaniard by current proximity and desire to drink. Nebraskan by heritage
I guess I’m second since I only have the ordinary kind of greedy balls.
Lol, love it…
Third’s the word
Hardware is all that counts….or, as they tell me, conversions 🙂
OREN is a dentist? I did not know that? HT MMS Friday interview……………………….why is Oren messing with with reselling, just do a couple of extra root canals each month………………Dentistry is one of the few business’ that has not yet been cut down in price gouging by competition and innovation by the internet.
OMG, those are still being held? In eons long time ago, I was supposed to do it too. But I kept myself back. Well, maybe if I did I would have more traffic and more conversions and would be all “thanx MMS for helping me out when I was a nobody I owe you big time blah blah blah” and 99% of bloggers would go for it.
Not me…oh wait, that makes me a 1%er?
Anyways, Creed was good but definitely not Oscar material. Just an enjoyable two hours, some good boxing, an old Stallone and a hot rapper girl and…sensing we will have another sequel #neverends
I think I will go see Seth’s movie, need to laugh some more this holiday weekend.
And need to crawl to the gym…soon
Well, it looks like someone in the bank screwed up and there will not be any new benefits added to the Fairmont card.

Speaking of Ryan Air, friends last night told us about their flights on Ryan Air “we don’t like them” & other more colorful stuff 🙂
