What the hell is going on with the British Airways Avios award bookings of AA flights? Avios Issues. I hope they fix it fast!
The best way(s) to use 180k Thank You points if you are into them I guess. I cashed out mine for Singapore Airlines and we are on the 24 month penalty box period 🙂
This blogger really loves Citi and the Thank You program. Which I think it is way behind the two other main banks (Chase Ultimate Rewards and AMEX Membership Rewards). Like in a distant third! A Public Love Letter to Citi and Thank You Program.
Remember when the big Titan mile bloggers were saying “No worries about the USA based airlines devaluing, we can use the foreign airlines”. Well in the past week, we had Cathay Pacific and Qatar Airways take a HUGE ax to the value of their loyalty programs. So, not to stay behind, Japan Airlines devalues BIG too! Lol, the joke is on you. But noooooo, you will NEVER read how you can NOT fly free anymore!
Not sure where this came from all of a sudden…but Alaska Airlines now allows you to use their miles to book hotels. You should not even think about it okay?

I swear, other than your amazing company, if it was not all the learning I have done here since I started blogging I would probably have quit a long time ago. We need to stay ahead of the robots you guys! Automation Will Make Lifelong Learning a Necessary Part of Work.

Never heard of this serial killer? Neither had I! But he is up there, way up there! “I Killed Them All” The Unbelievable Story of One of America’s Bloodiest Hitmen. With interviews of him…I am getting the sense the guy is trying to squeeze some fame money for his family…
Some great lessons here: 5 things I learned from watching 120 hours of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway meetings.
1. Develop your public speaking skills
2. Read Buffett’s favorite book
3. Wear your passion on your sleeve
4. Always take the optimistic viewpoint
5. Pick someone you admire and adopt their qualities

Thanks for the CX sweet spot post… need to review that. The only people making out are the bloggers suckering the newbies with multiple applications. My wife reads me the “Chinese FT” daily on pumping in another language!
Have a good day… might be in MI over the week of the 4th. You around?
So far, I am going to be around…But that may change as quick as the weather can change here 🙂
Email me a week in advance at least.
If only a certain blogger had not sold out FIRST…he could have pumped them newbies to oblivion because #conversionsisallthatmatters 🙂
I do miss our bot!
Yeah he pops in periodically…With excuses such as “I am traveling”…Bot should add “traveling for frreeeeeeee”.
Thanks to the readers who got a card with my links this week! Close to double digits…when that is reached I may go to daily posting 🙂
Now the pasta eating Italians are screwing up the Euro….There is something wrong with the water in the Mediterranean I am telling you!
Ummmm….buon giorno
I need some help, does anyone have a recent (not Drew who has not posted in ages) link that shows stopover rules for airlines? I have been posting everywhere but no luck..Thank you in advance…

Too bad about JAL – that was one of the very thin excuses that some of the Titans used to pimp the horrible new Barclays card – whatever the hell it’s called.
Cant wait for all the blog posts pumping plastic so you can fly the new Singapore Airlines flight, the longest in the world you guys.
This is like a massacre out there….Consistent extermination of all sweet spots, methodically and steadily. And the enthhusiasm of the bloggers how to show readers to travel for free NEVER wanes!
Please remind us again why TPG and MMS are not merged into one yet…
Can it get more pathetic other than the staff at TPG searching online to find ANY “news” to copy to sell more credit cards?
Latest one was a post titled: An NFL Player Paid This Woman’s Luggage Fee at LAX
Yes, yes…as you imagined…used the post to sell credit cards that help pay such fees.
And please someone at Hyatt, get Mommy Points a job!
Pointschaser resurfaced…just in time to ruin the fantasy that she is done posting.
Pretty quiet over at Rene…When you piss off even Randy…you know you should probably just autoblock yourself.
In the meantime, the lunatic free traders are determined to derail this economy…
