Chase has a new no annual fee card, the United TravelBank card. You earn 1.5% cash back on all purchases and 2% on United purchases. Sign up bonus is $150. I would not bother unless you are extremely bored and fly United exclusively. It did not stop pumping bloggers to get excited about it when the affiliate link hit the channel! Yes, available with my links but see what I just said.

Not to be undone…but Amex is rushing a new no annual fee Delta card. Sign up bonus? Just 10,000 SkyMiles. What? How are we supposed to sell this shit card? Not that much selling is being done in this site, a big fat nada cards sold since August 28, sad!

This is helpful. And this is why Travel Codex remains in the BLOGS I LIKE list. Comparing American Airlines Business Class Seats.

This was a fun link: Rare, Behind-The-Scenes Moments With the Virgin America Flight Crew. I am venturing out to say that no virgins actually participated in this project hehe.

I think this may have appeared here before but hey, what are you going to do about it, not click my links? Lol. 12 stunning train rides you should take before you die.

I have no relation to this site and I never heard of it. But I do remember a blog reader showing an interest to travel to Pitcairn Island. I think this tour will sell out, if it hasn’t already. Not cheap and can’t hack your way out of it most likely. It would be cool to go there one day…

What a photo, MUST click. A derelict NSA listening station in Berlin.

This is really great career advice, send it to your kids: Prof Galloway’s Career Advice. The best: Delay Gratification, Demonstrate Strength and Grit, Don’t Follow Your Passion, “when a luncheon speaker tells people to follow their passion, it means they’re already rich” [so true!], Ignore the Myth of Balance, ” I have a lot of balance in my life now. Why? Because I worked my ass off in my 20s and my 30s [so true, so true….look at me, I have so much balance I started a blog to follow my passion lol], Fight Unfair [so true, I am fighting the battle for quality and to trash online marketing experts posing as travel hackers…shut up, I know I am losing okay?].

Them Italians again…Dr Con Man: the rise and fall of a celebrity scientist who fooled almost everyone. There are some people out there who are just pathological liars. Looking at you Donnie…

Well, here is a personal finance blog with a post about something that is travel related. Namely, US citizens who retired abroad. This couple retired at Cuenca, Ecuador. Some very helpful and practical advice. I am going to retire in Thailand one day living in a semi mansion by the beach with a team of staff, including massage experts. Come on The Points Guy, take me out man #hint #fantasy.

More Burning Man wild art stuff!

Meeting the men who believe who are Jesus Christ. Okay, I like quirky stuff you guys. I think these dudes in this article could seriously use some sex robots, what do you think? WTF to infinity! Most WTF of all is the idiots who believe them. Shaking my head way too violently and I am a peace loving guy kumbaya. If I kept pumping you all about how the Amex Hilton cards are so awesome right now and you ought to get every member in your extended family tree one….maybe someone will get one FIRST with my links. But nope, some bozo will complain troll me for being same as the other ones. I wish I was…I wish I was #phuck #feelbetternow #youcanstillbeFIRST!

How Closely is Your State Economy Tied to Canada. So far at least, we are not fighting with them, will it last?

Doing the BLOG BUZZ cut and paste takes too long, I need to lower the hours I spend on this blog since I can’t do the monetization thingie well (translation=no staff, no time for SEO stuff, no rampant pumping of $$ links blah blah). I am just going to drop hacking related and blog news items along with some personal stuff at the bottom of blog posts hoping to get some newbies to become regular readers before I lose them with the advanced stuff lol.

Beware of the clunky Avianca Lifemiles.

Pretty nice find of the Avios redemption destination maps on the edge of the pricing bands (HT: Head For Points)

I am trying to pay out of pocket for my business trips so I can then burn my stash for personal use. But old habits die hard. I needed to find me a way back to Detroit from a conference in Orlando but I was not going to pay $300 plus on Southwest or about $250 with Delta. So, I burned 15,500 Delta Skymiles. Because I just don’t like paying to travel. Je Suis TBB and I Fly for Free! I am now at about 560k miles/points burned year to date. And I have slowed down…

I have a new desktop PC that is superbly super fast. I hope it lasts me 10 years like the last one! I am not yet 100% back up to speed but I am getting there…fast!

And I leave you with this…Who needs standard ones when you can have these LOL!
