Just saw another BA blog with a new writer who posted a very interesting piece on award booking...Hmmm, debating whether to feature here tomorrow.

M2M is taking steps to take care of his family. I would rather see him do well than everyone else in the Ignore blogs list. No, no plans to add it there :-)

Got some good stuff for tomorrow already...]]></description>

The familia who managed $11k out of Delta are my heroes!

I think you can bank on it that United will change the way they do this.

And you can also bank that in case it ever gets to this point...passengers won&#039;t go lightly...have your cell phones ready people!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Think the BA people had a meeting up there in Denver and told everyone to bring on junior writers and produce more content doesn&#039;t matter what it is. M2M used to be one of my favorites, it has gone down hill fast. I thought when he left FM his own blog was going to go up in quality, sadly it went the opposite. 

That Conrad Bora Bora looks nice, we had a great time at the Four Seasons there.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Wall Street Journal&#039;s piece on the United v Delta practice

https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-united-and-delta-manage-overbooked-flights-differently-1491951711?tesla=y

(I hope that isn&#039;t behind a WSJ paywall)
 
makes a helpful point that United pays off in vouchers good only for United flights whereas Delta pays off in gift cards close to cash equivalents. I presume everyone saw the Bloomberg story about the travel writer to was paid $11k (in American Express gift cards) to agree to have her family bumped three times by Delta. &quot;Gloat&quot; is an under statement. 

I presume the rush to defend United by the Pumping Titans was a move to protect their income stream. If the readers won&#039;t fly United then the Chase transfers get less valuable.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Well, once you get a taste of affiliate money, you might as well go all the way and completely whore yourself out and sell every single bit of integrity you might have had... Like putting up your mother in law for sale. As long as you&#039;ve got sheep still clicking, it&#039;s all that matters.

Also, I find it hilarious when people swear that they will take their business elsewhere to another domestic airline given the race to the bottom. &quot;Oh my god, Delta keeps screwing us with their skypesos, no more Delta for me.&quot; Ok, so do you take your business to UA? Not if you want to get beaten up and dragged out of the plane. 

Well then, what&#039;s left? AA? Ha, their award availability has been horrible. Southwest? Given the number of idiots who wanted a Amex metal card immediately to have a &quot;LOOK AT ME, IM SO COOL&quot;, I don&#039;t think many people would seriously give up their status with a legacy airline to fly Southwest. 

Then you get the &quot;so-called thought leader&quot; who keeps rambling about how airlines lose their customers trust when they devalue their frequent flyer programs...

Anyways, I&#039;ll keep applying for more cards, get my sign up bonuses, MS on my Ink, spend $0 in cash tickets, and keep redeeming miles award seats while the titans post amazing deals for business class tickets costing 2k.]]></description>

To my limited knowledge....US Bank is not involved with affiliate channels. 

? to other bloggers: Am I wrong? 

If true, Doctor of Credit will say something and others will keep on pumping the cards that pay them :-)]]></description>

Capitalism in all its glory...Right now, it is very anti us &quot;self-entitled&quot; (per Jeffrey Sm. hehe) folks...

It is what it is.

When I make moves in my Blog Review lists...they are cumulative. Another straw or something....makes me move. After seeing hundreds of posts on the incident...another editorial was the final straw. So many deals posted there these days and direct cc links. Less travel posts. Just not the same anymore...

At this rate, there would be no blog posted in the Like list. Two of them there have pretty much stopped posting...

#alwaysdeveloping

My lists are my own. Alexa says...who cares? :-)]]></description>
