z0mg! Now that I spilled the beans on mint coins it&#039;ll probably get killed any day now!!!
Oh wait. Mr. Pickles took care of that almost a decade ago...

Spoke to the Bloomberg guy for 2 hours about the SPG AMEX deval and other devals and somehow he completely missed all of that and just took the 2 flashy lines.

Oh well.]]></description>

Please don&#039;t make any actual effort to go to carhenge. The pictures are enough. It&#039;s basically our state&#039;s version of world&#039;s 4th largest ball of yarn. On another note, I see my new favorite bridge is up on TPG...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[@ Nick: I was clearly kidding about my blog savant-ness. Or is savantization? :) Thanks.

@xyzbarr: I thin you like the hardware, thanks for claiming your silver medal.

@Raffles: I think they &#039;ll go for it. Just someone tell him &quot;a blog is a hotel brand and you can never have enough&quot;. When you get approached, send these guys my way, thanks!

@DML: Yeah, that gif always gets me. You will like Friday&#039;s gif too. It involves Basketball! I have always had good experiences at Hyatt Place properties. Maybe because my expectations were not that high perhaps?

@ABC: Drake who? :)

@ John: The key is...to not click on the Titans. They are MASTERS in monetizing you without giving their readers a clue! More bars on Friday, you will love these!

@Ryan: Yeah, it is all rough out there. This is why you see the corporate owned blogs and the greedy experts keep pummeling the newbies who never had a travel rewards card before. And it is getting more pathetic out there, wow!

@Brenton: Thanks for the suggestion about Carhenge!

@Jon: Thanks for the feedback. No doubt it sounds like the 21c hotels are unique. I still can not believe AccorHotels paid so much for such a tiny footprint in these places, it is absurd!

@ted: Actually a decent post from the fake news media :) I would link to it here but there were two Titans quoted in it. And DansDeals giving a play by play of the US Mint dollar coins, really? And the writer spelling out what Manufactured Spending is. WTF! The hobby does not need this publicity. But these guys have blog online businesses to run. It is complicated...

I run 7 miles today. 4 yesterday, 5 the day before...Blisters and all.

I have noticed Doctor of Credit has increased posting frequency by a lot since TPG bought Mommy Points. Coincidence?

Thanks for reading and keeping me around in the present TBB form for at least another month, I appreciate the support.

TBBon!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Nice infographic on the Marriott cards - what a convoluted mess!  Shame about KE&#039;s award holds going away.  

From what I&#039;ve been seeing (FT and elsewhere), it seems that even folks with legitimate businesses who have sent in appropriate documentation of such, are struggling to get approved or just flat-out getting denied (when their credit score, etc. are supposedly fine). 

Really cool about the sudden savants!  I had heard of it happening after certain injuries but didn&#039;t know it could spontaneously occur.]]></description>
