You may have noticed the BIG news of the day yesterday? Amex, tired from getting beat up from its competitors, finally WOKE UP and took action by introducing a, please allow me, game changer of a business card: No annual fee, 2% Membership Rewards points up to $50k spend, points transferable to airlines/hotels, it does NOT count as 5/24 for Chase cards AND 20k MR signup bonus #wow.
Yes, the card is available with my links and yes my wife applied and was approved already #winning. I will apply over the weekend. What I found very surprising was that the public offer in the Amex site did NOT have the 20k signup bonus; it is usually the other way around! Best post to read about the card is this one by Rapid Travel Chai: Out of the Blue: Amex Launches Awesome 2x No Annual Fee Business Card. You know it is a game changer when DansDeals calls it a “spectacular new card offering”…finally! And Frequent Miler placed it at the top of its “Best Rewards for Everyday Spend” cards too.
On top of that we had increased offers on the Gold and Platinum Amex Delta cards too for 60k and 70k Skymiles. You can read this post what you can do with 70k Delta Skymiles.
For the latest BEST OFFER cards available with my links please SEE THIS POST by BestOffersPatrol.
And please, KNOW what you are doing with credit! If you have credit card balances or ask what is the interest rate on the card, this game is NOT for you! TBB readers NEVER EVER pay interest to the bank, understand? We only take 🙂
Support SMALL bloggers who add value to your life. It does not have to be me! Without this support we.go.away! Thank you.
Enough selling with the banner link you guys. Lets get back to TBBing now…
If you are big into online shopping, there are some great bonuses for Avios during the Triple Avios Week.
If you fly Jet Blue out of any New York City area airports, you should register now for this promotion.
TSA PreCheck added 7 new airlines, it now has 37. Many of us have a premium travel rewards credit card and we can get Global Entry for free. This gives us a Trusted Traveler number which we enter into the airline profile and voila, we have the TSA Precheck added to our boarding pass each time we fly #awesome.
Delta will allow you to upgrade any flight after ticketing. Hey you doing mileage runs still, LOL!
Most expensive cities in the world for dining. Sometimes I check these lists so I can go…WTF!
Mapped: The world’s most and least religious countries. Very interesting.
Your personal finance fix: Imagine if everyone in the world had a fiduciary duty to act in your best interest. Okay, this is really funny. You know what is funnier? These commercial bloggers trying to sell you a card they do NOT get paid for. Bwahahahahaha #itwillneverhappen
Just LOVE this shot…
This may be a repeat, I don’t remember. There is something about airplane bone yards…

Oh well … I could have been a contender.
Never give up 🙂
Our Spain vacation is almost over.
Had a great dinner in Granada last night at a tapas place my wife found. I was initially disappointed, though-I thought she said “topless”.
#getrealpal.
Tapas vs topless = Lol
I suspect comments have been down today as most readers are busy applying for the new Amex card… #wisfulthinking I had one click on it today and it was probably some one testing it to see if it is best offer 🙂
This blog had an awesome January as the CSR clicks came through…If I had the same number of clicks every month as January, this blog could afford a TPG staffer half time bwahahahahaha.
Anyways, it is what it is. I have some great stuff to share over the weekend.
P.S. Where are the haters? I need my dose of bitching for selling out woohoo!
under that #wishfulthinking thread. I thought the AntiTrump crowd was gonna take that open MT seat. Must be all those facists up there in MT voting.
Watcha whata you say about FACIST or I breaka you face, capishe?
Even if that guy had killed him…he would have still won #Montana #caseclosed
but but but….when we gonna start sending the facist a message? I mean we all want Hillary installed as POTUS right? Surely someone can do something about a do over or something.
and we need more of this wing nut. God I love Pelosi
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJB0h20uQls
Relax dude…
Not sure what Pelosi was trying to say about the alphabetical thing.
I thought Trump’s behavior was beyond embarrassing man, gifs that keep on giving. I should start posting some here, they are TBB worthy lol.
Pelosi, when she was in her college years, without seeing any pics, would be very attractive. Agree? 🙂
Buzz, what are you smoking, Pelosi probably looked like Gladys Kavitz years ago. Don’t Bogart that joynt.
EDDIE MURPHY AND STEVE MARTIN in the very underrated comedy movie BOWFINGER (1999)
Here is the seen where Murphy’s character Jiff has to cross the freeway. I pee my pants every time I watch this.

scene / not seen
re the pee: ask Dan if he has any links for diapers your size
Hilarious scene!
Just got offered by a PR person $40 to insert a text link for her client. From the automotive industry. Coming for you TPG!
Sadly, I clicked the Delete button.
I would have taken it. Seems like a game changer.
Game changer*
* up to $40 (not including AMEX Offers) 🙂
Damn you could retire on that sort of cash! lol
I applied and was approved for Blue Business Plus Credit Card. Thanks for all the work you do.
So it was a real click!
Thank you very much, much appreciated.
I see 2 more clicks on it, I am pretty sure if they applied their credit score was good enough 🙂
I am still shocked and very pleased by AMEX’s move to fight back, they are not going down without a real fight! #goodforus
Squeezed barely into hitting the monthly min cc quota again, yes!
Thanks again.
Amex fighting back? Its 50k a yr. When did we scrape so low to get excited about 100k MR in a yr.
You are way up there…
For vast majority of normal people…this is an Awesome card…So far, many bloggers have called it that, they are EXPERTS, heck..some are even thought leaders and appear on FoxNews toooooo!
Coming up on your 1st anniversary of BRT *sold out this year.
Delta sign up bonus. LOL. Might get lucky. 😉
Amex > thinking about it. Hey, 20,000 points = $200 in ‘free’ gift cards. #freeisfree #neverbeenafanofAmexPartners.
Last.
Has a year gone by already? Wow.
The new Amex business card is a keeper. The 20k signup bonus will likely not last long…so HURRY 🙂
