I am ok with Amazon referral links. I am not ok with plastered all over credit card links. Debt can bury unsuspecting newbies before they realize what hit them. THAT, to me at least, is THE difference.

Credit cards are to consumers what derivatives were to banks (we bailed them out remember?)

Comment of the month, LOL. Thank you!

I hope not. But it sure is a good conspiracy theory.

Did you know 911 did not happen? Some believe it:-)

Rick must have signed an agreement to give them kickbacks. Think about it — how is F2B going to generate any revenue? So they send everyone to Rick, who funnels some money back to F2B. Convenient eh? They take the no-CC high road, he gets more readers, they all win.

The other plausible explanation is that F2B has a little feud with Randy. And of course Rick has a little feud with Randy, so this way they all get to thumb their noses at him. So they send everyone to Rick, because he’s sort of the biggest blogger not connected to BoardingArea. (I said biggest, not tallest, so that rules out TPG.) Too funny.

Of course, I have no idea about any of that. I just call it like I see it. But I do love a good conspiracy theory!

Really? I can point you to a gazillion blogs right now that are big time snooze fests! They all revolve around content like: Southwest cards are the best, Companion Pass is the best thing since sliced bread, I just got 7% dividend in Sapphire Preferred did u get yours?, the Ink cards give 5 pts at office supply stores woohoo, the BA card is going away tomorrow & if u don’t get yours u are a freaking idiot, u can apply for the quarterly Freedom bonuses here & while at it here are a gazillion cards to be helpful to you, the US Air card is awesome here is my affiliate link it is the exact same one like so many other bloggers, here is my churning challenge let me just pull up some numbers out of thin air & copy/paste some affiliate links for you depending on what’s for sale lately, here is a giveaway for a luggage tag or drink coupon, I started collecting miles/points in 2011 & starting this blog to help my friends/family to travel free LOL, I had no idea what Platinum or Diamond is but now that I got my elite cards I feel entitled to publish a bunch of crap & flood my readers with affiliate links every chance I get, and I can go on forever. The vast majority of blogs in existence would not exist if it was not for blatant pimping of credit cards and you know it.

Deep down, for you to post here it means you are reading me. Thank you for your support;-)

I am a little nuts but there is no way I am doing THAT!

It’s a sad slow slog to oblivion…

Yes for now. So many worthy choices I would have to stop doing so much of what I am doing. For what? For lawsuit threats? I just don’t have the time when it comes down to it, too busy
