Great post George.
I kind of sympathize with your hatred towards Argentina but a couple caveats. Argentina lost that WC Final against Germany after an invented penalty, 2) I used to love the dutch but after 2010, when they butchered everybody, driven by psycho Van Bommel, and almost killed poor Alonso in the final, not so much. Also they robbed that SF against Uruguay, so even less so.
3) they have Messi, who is the least Argentinian of any Argentinian players I’ve ever seen. Hard to not like the guy. And all these from a Uruguayan guy, with a hate/love relationship with Argentina.

Football aside, kind of same boat with Globalist. Still not clear with program would be a good complement going fwd.

Thanks for the great links today!

Interesting that you are returning to Delta. I’m particularly fond of changing planes
in Detroit. If that’s your home airport, Delta is direct to so many places.

In reply to deacon smith. Correct! I messed up, I will fix it. Italy fell to the butchers so unfairly in PKs in the semifinal.

“It has nothing to do with the 1990 team butchering opponents to make it to the 1990 WC Final and, thank God, losing to the hosts Italians.”

1990 World Cup.. Argentina lost to West Germany. Italy finished 3rd.

In reply to TravelBloggerBuzz. yeah, try and do it above the book as much as you can. already starting to see some pushback on people doing the soft power stuff like muay thai. That'll probably be the first loophole they close.

In reply to Carl Pietrantonio.

Citi Custom Cash cards will be grandfathered. But this is how it always starts…until the end comes eventually. Sometimes the end can take forever though like that old Citi Premier card so good luck.

Will see when BofA will “adjust” that 3x on foreign purchases. Which is one of the most innovative developments in this space. Will come in handy when I start spending more time in Thailand and Greece…if it survives until then that is.

In reply to GeorgeTBB.

The way I have read the news on the Custom Card (I have two of them) is no new accounts and apps are frozen, but cards that are out there are still ok. No word on a forced change to a different card. Fingers crossed because my 2 cards are 5k points a month worth to me and I work them like a monster. Latest one was a total $500.26 so I plan it exactly.

I am hitting their Strata Elite dang hard as well, averaging 1200 points a week, but when the AF hits, it might go away, not sure yet because I can easily see 50K or more points a year with it.

Got to say though, that my Alaska card if/when I head to Europe, will get front row usage for the 3x everywhere.

Good morning and there goes your Citi Custom Cash card and your 5x card. So much for Shiti becoming a real alternative to Chase and Amex lol. At this rate the hobby is on its way to becoming an afterthought. You know, like booking a Delta trip and not even taking into account the mileage earning from it.

And yet so many people making a living in this industry keep screaming that the sky is not falling. Of course, wtf would you expect them to say?

Anyway, summer is on, it’s hot out there, I need me to get me some nice shorts and stuff like that…
