We are so bored we learn about some minor change in the Citi AAdvantage cards, barf at the ferocious pumping going on all around the blogosphere selling the SPG Amex Card and all the other usual plastic merchandise, more are seeing the Delta corporate BS, fly over Cancun, watch the amazing Perseid meteor shower, freak out at the devastation in the Tianjin Blasts and really think deeply about our ever shortening attention span and more!

Are things just slow or is it just me?
Citi is converting legacy AAdvantage Visa cards to Mastercard per MileCards. Not surprising…
After getting blasted by yet another batch of posts pumping the Amex SPG card I followed my therapist’s orders to “let it all out” on Twitter: “Holy mother of God….Starwood adds one airline, click on the Amex SPG cards NOW, LAST CHANCE, CARPET TEMPLATE YOUR READERS AGAIN, WTF!” By the way, the airline is Korean Airlines and this could have been told in one short sentence like I just did. But noooooooooooo. You click on these plastic links within the body of the posts and it ONLY encourages MORE of the same! THINK!
Yeah, that Delta guarantee for corporate clients was bullshit. But who am I to say so? Well, when Cranky Flier says so too you need to believe it!
A fantastic video of yet another guy who quit his job and traveled the world.
Stunning video of Cancun from a drone, Wow!
Pics from the 2015 Perseid meteor shower.
The extent of the devastation of the Tianjin blasts are mind boggling. And so are these photos…
May I have your attention please? at Medium. This is a fantastic article about our attention which is being altered right before our eyes smart phones. The conclusion of the article puts it all together nicely: “Social and mobile have fundamentally altered attention. Platforms for self-expression and communication are the largest and most important media companies of the millennial age, dominating share of attention and engagement for young people. And the behavior of the young is predictive of the future. Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, Tumblr, Snapchat, Reddit, WhatsApp, Instagram, Vine and YouNow were all catalyzed by teen use first, and later spread to older age groups. If you want to know which companies to bet on, just follow the attention.”
Sovereign Debt Rankings. Very interesting graph to say the least.
Ponder this…

My first first time?
Good Morning – quiet so far — second?
Dang only third!
My wife says it’s ok if my attention span is short since it’s also pretty thick.
It’s the first inch of attention that matters anyway… 🙂
You all can do better…or wake up earlier lol
On AA Visa: I don’t care much it will be converted to Master. I use it for 10% off up to 10000 miles each year and pay for the remainder of the award flight, so be it Visa or Master I don’t care. However yes get it if you want the bonus before they convert. It is considered a new product.
I agree!
Or do you literally apply for the exact same card every three months and have 2+ active cards that are not cancelled?
