In reply to PedroNY. You are welcome. TBB site made $1.22 yesterday. I guess I am not going to be HUGE :-)

Read that Yomadic post a few days ago, and I think he is hands down the best travel blogger out there. Just the cool, random and obscure things. Thanks for the suggestion!

In reply to Katherine. Wow, your offer is absurd! I wonder how IHG comes up with these targets...wow!

@Hua – my Set your sights sucked as well – 8 nights, 1 international, 1 Vacation Club, 2 weekend stays (2 nights each). Heck – it is cheaper to buy the points than it is to do these stays!

I will have to say that my Dad’s Into the Night promo worked well and he has 2 free nights for next year.

@ United1k: Congrats. First first?

@ William Charles: We are sensing Amex is back trying to fight Chase…and I like it!

@ P: With almost 100 blogs in Boarding Area, the law of big numbers you know 🙂

@ Spencer F: Disappointing indeed.

@ Shaun: I think it is worth it, yes.

@ Erik: I agree with you. Will likely be canceling it too. I feel sorry for readers who get the card with just 40k MR points…

@ Charlie: Oops, looks like I missed it. I am sure it happens a lot with just the staff of one around here. I added all the DofC stuff late on Sunday night after I came back watching the movie “Birdman” and got lazy. Sorry. And you are right.

@ Hua: Mine sucked. I need to do 4 nights for 50k pts (and one of them needs to be at a HI resort or HI Club vacation property). Looks like I am sitting this one out too again. Glad to hear you had no issues with the Into the Abyss promo 🙂 Just noticed Mrs. TBB’s offer is for 3 nights. Thought about it for a moment as I do have 2 PB nights booked and then have a 4 night business stay in San Diego in late January where i have booked a very convenient Four Points by Sheraton hotel on SPG points. Thought for a moment canceling the award stays and rebooking on IHG for this promo but seems complicated and requires cash outlays and the 50k haul is just not as lucrative to make me jump through the hoops. Besides, I don’t want to get into the IHG customer service hell and track them down for missing stay credits/points. Nice to see these promos but the days of FFN promos is long long gone 🙁
