Vanilla We are still trying to get over that award we won the other day. That was a day that will live in infamy! Especially when we have the thankless task of reviewing all the other travel blogs. What was the main theme yesterday? Well, what else…yet another day that yet another credit card’s affiliate […]

Not impressed by this award!  We can not believe it! We were so sure that our fans will help us win the “Best Blog” category in the first annual “If Chris Elliott Can Do IT Anyone Can” contest. The results were announced yesterday by Points Envy. Incredibly, we won the “Best Pusher of Credit […]

Fog over Detroit River  My travel back from FTU was quite an adventure! I redeemed 12,500 United miles for the red eye LAX to IAD and then was going to catch a short flight to DTW. After waiting on the plane for almost an hour, we returned to the gate. Cause=Fog in Detroit. The […]

Frequent Flyer University is over in Los Angeles! A crazy weekend surrounded by a bunch of miles/points obsessed lunatics! We feel so at home being surrounded by lunatics, woohoo!  As a veteran I realized going in that there would not be too many new things to learn. The best part about these conferences is the […]

 FTU LAX: Million Miles Secrets at In n Out The breakfast using my cert at the Radisson LAX was excellent. I must admit if all the Radissons were like this property, this chain could be mentioned in the same breath as, say, the Sheratons or the Doubletrees. Hey bloggers, can you do a blog about […]

Room 1209, suite upgrade at Radisson LAX  It was a fantastic yesterday here in Los Angeles!  The dinner on Thursday night, the Friday breakfast and lunches at the FairmontMiramar have all been wonderful! I absolutely adore my FairmontLifetimePlatinum status, I call it the status that keeps on giving! Thanks to Angelina, who writes Just Another […]

Fairmont Miramar Platinum Welcome Gift, that Goat Milk Cheese was AMAZING! I had a very long day flying Southwest from Detroit to St. Louis to LAX. And going on only three hours of sleep. I am staying at the Fairmont Miramar on Thursday night which is beautiful. I am going to take it easy and […]

 This was a very long and extremely busy day. All of a sudden, things started flying at me from all directions. When I get into these types of situations, I focus like a laser beam, get my James Bond Craig face on and charge ahead attacking each and every task with gusto! Just to […]

No idea where this is, I found it online & fell in love with it! I am bored. Nothing exciting is happening in the blogosphere. No mistake fares, no short term credit card haunting “EXPIRES AT NOON” headlines, definitely no new exciting mega signing bonuses in the horizon. There will be new Club Carslon cards out […]

Blue Mosque, Istanbul, June 2012 one of the few pics we took that came out good!  Monday was a very busy day in the travel/miles/points/prepaids/Bluebird/morecreditcards/Bluebird area we so enthustiastically cover here at TBB. Our tagline should be: “We waste our own time reviewing travel blogs so you don’t have to”. Catchy enough? We tried […]
