Thanks for acknowledging that I alerted you to Fishing4Deal’s series on the the Visa SavingsEdge and theMasterCard Easy Savings programs back in August, as well as the thought that the mainstream blogs had not written about these “no brainer” cash-back rebate programs.

In addition to reviewing the big name blogs, TBB can do a service to the community by scanning lesser known, independent blogs for unique or interesting content — especially when it provides a new perspective on things or breaks a big story.

Is there room for more bloggers in this space? I thinks so, as long as they provide original, objective content that goes beyond what is already available. I started http://www.Fishing4Deals.com because I wanted to write a blog for real people. The other blogs I was reading were all about flying first class to the Maldives and staying in business hotels. I was using points and miles to enable family visits in the U.S. while booking hotel bargains on Priceline. Further, I was not finding good information on the downside of various points programs, and saw an opportunity to fill this vacuum.

BTW, the third part of my series on stealth credit card deals will detail the Check Inn program — which offers small businesses savings of up to 20 percent on hotel bookings.

What? You don’t like the worm? It actually serves a function. If you click on it, it sends you back to the top of the page. Anyway, I am using the “Something Fishy” packaged theme which is what got me started with the Fishing idea in the first place. If you hover your cursor over the worm, you get a special message!

Mega lol, thanks!

You guys are just too funny…so funny you are perceived for being angry 🙂

I would stick with the raki;-)

Excuse me, was he playing last night? 🙂
