Pick one of the three blog posts below, they are all good to get you up to speed on the deal. Mrs. TBB got a Discover IT with my links, she loves her iPhone and shopping #bliss

I have been around this hobby for so long to know that the Southwest 50,000 point offers are always lurking somewhere out there. Here they are again at this post by MileCards.
Maybe there is hope for the Amex Platinum $200 Credit for Gift Cards? The Devil’s Advocate at Travel Codex is giving us some hope…
10 dirty little secrets of frequent-flier programs written by Ed Perkins of SmarterTravel at USA Today. Well, most of these are true and you are not going to hear too much about these from your credit card pumping Titan bloggers who keep searching for every pathetic excuse to pump the same credit cards to oblivion. Hey, Priority Pass added 3 lounges in the US…so BANG BANG BANG BANG all the cards that pay me a ridiculous amount to make you apply for them. Say no, choose TBB 🙂 If not me, help a little guy who is a not a bank bitch selling product!
Americans Just Went on a $32 Billion Credit Card Shopping Spree. Titan bloggers don’t give a damn as long as they make the sale & get paid. You can get really hurt if you are not organized, have excellent money habits, a cash emergency fund and a safe job/double income. And if you have a credit card debt NOW, do NOT read my blog until you pay it off. Capiche?
The seven hardest tourist visas to get. Good to know. Nauru anyone?
Death To Bullshit. LOVE this! Stop reading the mega pumping bloggers! Fight back, read and click TBB, he does his best to do all four things listed at the end!
Popups, jargon, junk mail, anti-patterns, sensationalism, begging for likes, tracking scripts, marketing spam, dark patterns, unskippable ads, clickbait, linkbait, listicles, seizure-inducing banners, captchas, QR codes, barely-visible unsubscribe buttons, 24-hour news networks, carousels, auto-playing audio, bloatware, sudden redirects to the App Store, telemarketing, ticked-by-default subscribe buttons, “your call is important to us”, pageview-gaming galleries, native advertising, the list of bullshit goes on and on and on. This bullshit assaults our senses in a desperate attempt to capture our attention.
Our willingness to be inconvenienced, interrupted, and insulted is dwindling. We’re finding more ways to circumvent bullshit, whether it’s through tools like ad-blockers or actions like cutting cable.
As the landslide of bullshit surges down the mountain, people will increasingly gravitate toward genuinely useful, well-crafted products, services, and experiences that respect them and their time. So we as creators have a decision to make: do we want to be part of the 90% of noise out there, or do we want to be part of the 10% of signal? It’s quite simple really:
- Respect people and their time.
- Respect your craft.
- Be sincere.
- Create genuinely useful things.

Good morning!
It’s a good morning when you are First 🙂

I”m glad Portland made the list of foodie places to visit, if it hadn’t I would not have taken the list seriously.
I guess beer is considered to be food by some–as is whiskey, bourbon, champaign, and wine. 6 of 21 “foodie” trips listed are alcohol based! I like to imbibe as much as anyone, but to put Portland over true food mecca’s like New Orleans or Charleston–not to mention a slew of places in Thailand and Italy–is a bit of a stretch. But another entertaining article I would hace missed if not for TBB!
As long as readers are entertained the TBB mission is primarily fulfilled 🙂
I just LOVED the:
DEATH TO BULLSHIT
piece!
Darn, missed out on the deal of the decade.
“HURRY! KitchenAid Cast Iron 3 Quart And 6 Quart Casserole Pots From Just $24.10 From Amazon!”
Dan is on a roll lately pumping this stuff. I especially love the toilet paper deals lol
Death to BS I just love the title lol.
On a little break, reading on phone so will come back later.
What did we do without our phones?
Kölsch is pretty much the most horrid German beer out there by definition :p Out of all the beers out there… why o why?
I posted the picture because of the castle 🙂 I had no idea it sucked so bad. Is it like the German Milwaukee’s Best? 🙂
I got a virus warning going to Travel Codex. I hate BA so much. Apparently, this has been going on for months.

Yeah, BA has an issue with this. Amazing they have not fixed it! I guess it is hard for them to do due diligence on all them ads. I have crappy ads on the right side, they never paid me. I would rather get no dinero than to pump my readers with virus crap!
