Did you miss my Sunday Best of the Web post? If yes, I feel sad for you. Why? Because it is pretty awesome!

I think the Hyatt guys are getting more desperate trying to come up with more promos to get us back in. Earn 1,000 AAdvantage Miles staying at Hyatt Place and Hyatt House properties through June 30, 2018. Register HERE.
The Hyatt promo above appears to double dip with its regular quarterly promo. If you missed it, you can register HERE.
If you were Hilton Honors Diamond elite and missed requalifying for it, there is a way to ask to be excused and keep it HERE. Note the steep criteria for it though.
Many former Fairmont Presidents Club members may find this useful: When your Le Club AccorHotels points expire, and how to stop it.
Really good article if you are interested in Airbnb: Airbnb and the Unintended Consequences of ‘Disruption’.
Airbnb lowered prices for tourists, supplemented the income of renters, and simply made travel to major cities more fun. But upon inspection, it shares some things in common with more-controversial companies—albeit with less grave implications. Facebook and Twitter design for attention, but incidentally encourage mendacious outrage and trolling. eBay and Amazon design for open marketplaces, but incidentally encourage the frenzied resale of bulk-ordered toys around Christmas. Airbnb was supposed to challenge hotels by letting tourists pay renters. But its platform is unwittingly producing a subsidy of tourists, paid for by nonparticipating urban dwellers, who bear the cost of higher rental prices. Like just about every story these days about revolutionary tech platforms, Airbnb is a story both of democratized access to commerce and the unintended consequences of those democratizing efforts, even when they succeed on their own terms.
Just in case you missed it, this company almost bought Starwood! Actually, it could have been good for us travel hackers. Instead, we now have to take the shit from Marriott…which is just starting #braceforimpact.
This should make you think: What I Saw Treating the Victims From Parkland Should Change the Debate on Guns. All I ever said is that less guns should lead to less deaths. You know, we should try it! It could be our kids tomorrow damn it!
This will make your heart just melt. Little monkey is taken away for treatment of an injured leg and then is released back to his family. If you don’t smile watching this you probably have no soul and you are the type of reader who clicks on clickbait menstrual camp bullshit…
I like to help people. So this may help someone: How to get yourself out of a funk.

I have posted before about Bir Tawil: The Land No Country Wants. Now we have an Indian businessman claiming it as well smh.
These are great! How Money is Spent by Different Income Groups.

This is a surprising and very interesting move by US Bank. US Bank makes Real-Time Mobile Rewards awesome. Are you listening Chase? Amex? Citi? This should last as this bank usually does not have affiliate links…otherwise you would have heard how awesome and must have card this is from the mega plastic pumper “experts”.
I was so crushed to hear of AmercInn was bought by Wyndham #notreally
Yes, Ingy never leaves my site. Thanks for the entertainment Ingy!
It is just MIND BOGGLING how The Points Guy Inc with dozens of staff can be so late in copying all “news” in the blogosphere.
Can you believe this guy View From The Wing? How he missed that? LOL. And sad!
Please Fight Dangerous Bullshit!
And I leave you with this…

First? Slackers
Mondays are always slow…making those stairs leading us out of our basements so looooong.
Temps in the 50s, may take the bikes out again #hooray
More like, the cement floor is cold and it’s so warm in our lovesacs wrapped up in snuggies.
I’m hoping to use my secured credit card – or a loan from mom – to buy an area rug for my basement lair. No more cold cement for me!
Slacking indeed! And I might point out 7:01 is a leisurely version of 6:30.
We have snow! And it never snows in London Zone 1 ….
(Air BnB)-“But its platform is unwittingly producing a subsidy of tourists, paid for by nonparticipating urban dwellers, who bear the cost of higher rental prices.”
Not to mention the cost of turning their residential environment into a short-term rental resort.
And I’m betting the consequences were unintended for-oh, about four minutes into writing the business plan.
So Scott Castle is back and the good ol’ days return. Lucky spring is coming ‘ round and the sun is rising earlier and earlier.
Real time mobile awards? How 00s lame… no mention of blockchain nor B$!!! 😉
Always happy when Spring starts to show up…may hit 60 here in DAY today.
I think I first learned about Bir Tawil when you posted about it here. Better than reading about poop and panties on the Titans’ blogs.
I’m impressed with the US Bank thing – I’ve so far not gotten any of their cards actually. But nice to see something good added.
The US bank thing is great allowing you to stack offers and earn points for hotel stays etc. I suspect this will be abused (refundable travel).
I am busy fighting dangerous bullshit you guys
from my heated basement lol.
We are saved you guys!!!!

What are those Wacky Nuts over at AnusBang up to today?
Getting a little tiring dude
#warning
please BAN ME, block me….please
i have had enough of seeing your whining about President Trump……#AdiosungratefulImmigrant
one last favor though, please start the headline of your next Tavelbloggerbuzz.com post with RAMSEY BANNED FOR LIFE or RAMSEY BANNED…….it has to be a ratings/alexa grabber………..thanks for 5 years of madness we had together, no go back to your country, love Ramsey
now not no
I had no idea Ramsey was a native Indian y’all!
It was fun Ramsey…
Just never liked your anti trans, anti gay, sexist comments. Yesterday you pointed to a poor kid dealing with some serious issues who can use some love and support, it could be your own kid/grandkid/relative. You should perhaps meet one of them. All trans people are way too brave than phucking moron Donnie who would go into the school during a shooting…If you believe that shit…what can I say?
Today was a “whining broads” statement. Unacceptable!
You say I am not respectful of your President. Tough shit. He sure has not earned it. He is an embarrassment to what American stands for! I have an amazing immigrant article tomorrow for you if you get bored with the menstrual cramps, farting and XX reasons you must have the CSP card in other blogs!
Get your own blog (or bot) and say whatever you want.
Be more kind man, why are you so angry?
You leave with a “now go back to your country”. Nice. Well, I am not leaving and I am here in my basement fighting dangerous bullshit.
Je suis TBB.
Im calling BS on your banning
Please ban the racist prick
Can you be more specific?
I haven’t banned anyone yet…I don’t know how to do it!
But I have hit “Spam” in some comments when they got out of line. And will do it again. Not proudly like that Rene dude.
There there’s a typical libtard response if I ever saw one. Since when is transgender “racist”? But go ahead, use the word whenever. It’s all you clowns can say!
Thanks TBB for getting the Amex Hilton Business credit card with your links.
Your support is appreciated.

Oh, hi Ingy.
Warren Buffet’s biggest holding is Wells Fargo. What does he see in that company? Is this really the best bank option?
WF preys on people who don’t know much better. It is the responsible thing to do, nobody forces them to buy whatever these guys are pushing…
Following Ingy logic…
Buffett is way over rated imho. I mean, he is one of a kind…sure. But the publicity this guy gets is unbelievable. And he could force some change with WF and now the guns issue. But he likes the profits and his burgers too much.
He should follow his own advice to index and spare us the bullshit 🙂
no comment other than saying that was below the belt even for him. america is 100% immigrants. his family too. the only native americans are too busy getting screwed over to tell people to go back to their country.
I have a wonderful immigrant story on Wednesday.
Deep down he is a good guy. Like Ingy.
We are all different. And sure not perfect. I sure am not! I am going to hell and I am taking the Hell Express (as Eddie Murphy used to say). Oh, he is black 🙂
“Deep down he is a good guy. Like Ingy.”
I’d say you’re a poor judge of character. Many big-hearted people are.
Im not a historian but I believe what you are calling “Native Americans” were also immigrants. I might have to call BS on this one
Everyone…leave now!
Before you leave click on my links!
Exsqueeze me…
Click on my links!!!!
Oh, hi Mark
Some are first generation immigrants and some are 1000th generation immigrants. I can’t see a difference either…………….
If you follow your own argument, then all humans are immigrants which makes the word completely pointless. Except for “that” country in southern Africa a few million years ago.
Chuck I like the cut of your jib

From my basement
Ingy sold way early!!!
Need to work on my rhyming skills a little…
There were issues with some of Ingy’s posts. He brags here about doing it all alone, but the truth is some of that stuff was way out there.
