In reply to Karen.

What I meant by “mentioning” is serving the darn link in blog posts.

I post it on top with the Amazon & the referral links. That’s it.

Of course I am going to mention it (without linking) in blog posts because this is what I do around here, make fun of stuff like that. And, like other monetization avenues I have tried, it is also a joke.

Travel With Grant lost his cc links yesterday. You guys like to bitch about us trying to monetize in a noble way by trying hard to provide good content and NOT pumping away but it is NOT working…

Just my two cents from the “pimp” side….This whore (stop laughing Phil!) is still trying to make its first sale lol.

I am learning more about how this stuff works….very educational…I will tell all about it when they take mine away for “inaction” 😉

Congrats TBB,

This is your first post since your infamous Nov 3 quote where you haven’t mentioned your credit card tab. I was right that you were setting yourself up for failure with the I am going to shut up about it line.

That goes on a lot online. Actually there is a lot more of it in non miles/points blogs….blogs like mommy blogs, personal finance blogs, etc. And they do it without blinking. It is quite something to watch….shaking my head.

In reply to DiffPaul. You are protesting the system by refusing to go with the Titans! Give them to Drew.

Scott: You are on fire. Read that on the plane but couldn’t laugh as much as I wanted because I was pinned by the largest guy on the plane who decided to pick the middle seat next to me 🙂

60k only on Delta? Wow. Hope some blogger does not kill THAT deal. Actually I have known of people who were spending 50k to Orlando from Detroit and were ecstatic about it….

And hi Jake from State Farm

Add TripHackr to the list of people who censors comments when I called him out for not mentioning that his “$25 Airbnb credit” link was a referral link that gave him credit too. Such an easy and harmless thing to divulge, but instead he passes it off as if it’s some magical link instead of the referral link that everyone with an AirBnB account has.

Well, For the record, I woke up in a great mood. Played with elephants today, and enjoyed the third and best day of Loy Krathong/Yi Peng in Chiang Mai! (however 1:30am and loud firecrackers are still going off, oh well).

Tomorrow I promise to wake up not in a great mood. I have to start traveling back home then :-/

A round of apps coming up. QOTD: how should the percentages of apps be divided between Drew/Buzz/Non-Affiliate? I feel Drew has been on fire the last 3 months, but Buzz kinda deserves a tip, or I can protest the system by checking none-of-the-above.

I TOO woke up this morning, not in a great mood. It’s dark, cold, and there is nice drizzly cold fog hanging over my fair city. Then to make matters worse, enjoying my morning cup of coffee reading Frequent Miler was not that great, it was guest author day…………Maybe no FM is better than faux FM…………like they say sometimes LESS IS MORE…………….Which is also something the readers of TBB think when they see my comments everyday.
