Sometimes this blog space just bores me to pieces. Thank the Lord I was not limiting myself to just miles and points stuff, it’s so sad out there!
Get 500 Hilton Honors points when you book with its app. Yeah, like I said, it is sad…
Priceline bought Momondo for, please sit down, $550 million. They will likely proceed to phuck it up. Did you care? I didn’t! π
I have talked to several US green card holders who told me they changed their plans to travel abroad. And all I can think about is whether American Airlines (and other airlines) will finally do something to improve on their completely atrocious award space! If that happens, thank you Donald Trump. #Iamsobad
Rescuing a moose from a frozen lake. Thank you humanity!
It is tax time so we get this question a lot, so here is the answer: Deducting an IRA Contribution on Your Tax Return.
Lets go for a dip in an Arasan Bath in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
Well, lets go to Suriname next. No Vendoming here, so sick of Vendoming!
Epic Photos from Viking Festival in…Scotland! This looks awesome!
BLOG BUZZ
This section is for advanced level hobbyists and veteran blog users.
I saw this at Loyalty Lobby and thought about posting it in a separate blog post as numerous bloggers did. But posting once a day and making it count is enough I think. I wish so many marginal blogs just fold so I can have more time in my life to maybe do some burning for a change #sigh. Oh, I am talking about the one year free membership to the Leaders Club of the Leading Hotels of the World. Beware: This should be because you have a Diners Club card. And if you don’t, well maybe you shouldn’t? I ‘ll let you ponder about this yourself. If it is still alive that is.
When will this stop? Another blog, Andy’s Travel Blog, added a new writer too.
The Free-quent Flyer has started a personal finance blog hosted at Saverocity. Name: Independently Financed. For the record, I have no plans to start a personal finance blog. Looking back, based on the writing I do, I could have had one and be a real Titan lol.
Question from reader: How do you determine again which 711 stores code as gas stations?
You know who is paying the bills at The Points Guy, those 40k Amex Platinum cards don’t sell themselves!

Thursday blog reading with a cup of coffee in the midst of a snow storm, thanks for making my morning entertaining!!
500 points is what these days, 12 cents? LOL. I promise to stay optimistic in 2017. That reminds me to burn some of my Hilton points for next January trip.
Cheers,
PedroNY
TBBTheDude says
Trying to stay optimistic but when you start out with a 500 Hilton point “deal”, you know it’s rough out there.
Good luck with the storm, it looks like we are skipping this one here in Michigan, phew!
Nick @ Personal Finance Digest says
Thanks for the Suriname link! The NYT article linked from the one you linked to is interesting too:

TBBTheDude says
That pic of the Falls in Suriname is phucking EPIC. Wow to infinity!
TBBTheDude says
Thanks for the NYT article, very cool. I think it is safe to bet that Lucky will not be going there anytime soon π
Nick says
Hi alll – concrete and kitsch here π
The title may have been deceiving, but the falls are actually in Guyana! We’re going to be there for a day before venturing into Suriname. Sorry for the confusion!
-Nick @ concrete and kitsch
TravelBloggerBuzz says
Thanks for the clarification.
Ryan says
Those falls are gorgeous!

Did not know what a quokka was, I do now. Gracias

Looks more like a woman to me. George will give a $10 Panera gift card to the first person to spot a blogger who hires a male writer and writes: “he’s a boy!”.
TBBTheDude says
Sadly, I am moving to be a Starbucks boy than a Panera boy. Ever since Panera started delivering, the stores have gone downhill!
SB says
free-quent flyer is an interesting dude. Let’s see how this pans out
P.S. I’m so sad, I went through my 3rd recon for the fairmont card and it just seems like it’s not meant to be π π π
TravelBloggerBuzz says
Hmmm, they used to give it out like candy!

Old MSers starting gigs as Financial Advisors. Yikes
