Lets do a short post today as most are probably still in holiday mode…In case you missed my awesome Sunday post, here it is: Bubbles, Scarface of Sex, Delayed Orgasm, Spiders Rock, Dancing Gorilla.
The devaluation tsunami sees no end… Flexperks Will be Worth 1.5 Cents in 2018 and Beyond [Down from up to 2 Cents].
Staples Rewards, not to be left behind on this devaluation movement, announced changes, including no point earning at all for online orders, WTF!
The new OfficeMax & OfficeDepot rewards programs is here, 2% on all purchases. Later on we find out that gift card earning is capped at $200 per quarter. MAJOR bummer!
Nice easy (it appears) $500 Chase wants to give you if you open a checking and a savings account.
Here is another wonderful and very informative post: Travelling in the Trans-Siberian: From St. Petersburg to Beijing.
This video will make you want to visit the Philippines. Seriously…
Five myths about air travel. This will challenge your thinking. Here they are:
- Bigger planes mean lower fares
- Flying is expensive
- Flying is worse for the environment than flying
- Merger mania is bad news for travelers [Oh…]
- The best flight path is the shortest distance
All the Crazy Shit I’ve Seen as a Bachelor Party Stripper. Omg, for real? This is some major shit #wow. Sorry, no shocking videos, so sad!
I find it amazing how professional players blow their millions. Reading this story I felt sad. But, after reading what he was blowing his money on…maybe not as sad. It’s just a sad situation all around… Away from the NFL spotlight, financial ruin drove Clinton Portis to the brink of murder. The video is shocking in its own way showing some examples of pro players who blew it all.

The blog God Save The Points has moved to the Boarding Area blog network. I never understood that move. I guess it makes sense for some. Maybe they are closer to their idols…

BREAKING: Bankrate acquired by Charlotte-based Red Ventures for $1.4 billion in cash. Hopefully MMS and TPG move here so we can hang out.
http://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/03/bankrate-to-be-acquired-by-red-ventures-for-about-1-point-4-billion-in-cash.html
Wow!
I have no idea what this will mean for our hobby…But I think changes for the bloggers are coming.
I have no idea about the buy out arrangements of MMS and TPG. Looks like MMS dude is ready for a next phase. But TPG is out there hitting it hard and spending A LOT of money o the operations…not sure the new private equity guys can go for that.
And of course I have no idea how that will translate to the creditcards.com links too…
Maybe it is the nail in the coffin…
or maybe not.
#staytuned
Bankrate must have something going for them to be bought by this firm, doubt they will kill the bloggers bringing the newbies.
I never heard of Red Ventures.
It is at a premium so, at first glance, it appears you are right.
Changes coming, no idea what those would be.
I hope they force Brian Kelly to move to Charlotte so he can invite Nick PFD and his entourage for a jam session for Peace for Miles.
TPG/BK is now the sponsor of CardCon, the one day conference before FINCON being put together by Jason Steele. He had asked me to go, I said no. I am glad I said that 🙂
this is the very first Blog Headline I read today, at DOC……………………

TBB, just came back to say i still love you and that approved BarclaysCard was from me. If I click on another link of yours, will you stop the whining and complaining for a day of my choice? (I will come back to read on that day!)
Thanks for the click, you are FIRST in July!
Whining is part of Greeks’ DNA, sorry.
I will gladly refund you the Barclaycard click $ if you did not complain in the comments!
So the Paypal Donate button is coming…
My blog earned more than the minimum wage per hour only in January 2017, the amazing CSR app!
Present arrangement works fine. Not everyone will like it. Comes with the territory.
BOP is awesome!
Enjoy the 4th!
Good reply…I would have followed through but you said no so you should consider it a test to see if I could havebought your integrity with the lure of a 2nd link.
You got to keep your integrity. But so did I in that I gave my day’s 2nd card referral to someone else. We are both winners! 😉
This space is SO easy to lose all integrity! I mean, look around the blogosphere. You can pick out the ones with integrity in one hand, maybe two. Sadly, two of them had to quit recently.
A reason for my blog came to be to…help worthy bloggers to keep going. So when you do that YOU are a winner! I feel like I am doing this for a bigger worthy cause and that makes it worth it!
Money earned here is peanuts in comparison what I could be making. But it is more fun and darn challenging 🙂
If you guys only knew how much time I put into this baby…It is INSANE!
Long rambling post here tomorrow. No BOP, you are safe 🙂
To Ramsey:
Your buddy over at VFTW posted a shocking video of a toilet. In a Sheraton.
This never happens here…
BREAKING NEWS:
After numerous requests…the Donate Button is LIVE!
It’s at the right hand sidebar, between the CreditCards.com and Amazon banners!
If I can only figure out how to do the landing page AFTER you donate…So, thank you in advance!
Yes, there WILL be a post here tomorrow…Kind of like a brain dump/clearningmyhead/voices etc…
Enjoy the 4th everyone.
If Trump wanted to raise his awful poll numbers, he would have declared today a day off 🙂
I wanted to make a donation, but it seems to be only monetary. I had planned on giving you a hug or smile. I guess I can mail you some canned goods?
Keep the canned goods. Hug or smiles are fine. How about…both? I am picking up so many bad habits…when I am faced with a question of this or that…I instinctively say…Both! 🙂
My embryology instructor had every test question all term under the same format.
A. _______
