You’re enthusiastic about the name? Really? Moving networks is fine, but the new network name is just about the most classless, bullying, and downright scummy behavior I’ve seen in 20 years in business.

Add a new verb to the glossary, George. “2ing”: the shameless disregard of class in chase of $$.

Example: Kim and Kanye just 2ed their wedding.

Just because that is when he registered it does not mean it was not part of the BA stable before this (or was not owned/used by Randy at some other point). It could have been part of subdomain structure or something else.
As far as copying, I thought First2Board sounded close enough to BoardingArea to sound like you were trying to edge out BA. As of right now, it looks like you are bleeding bloggers and Prior2Boarding jumped out of the gate with over 20 established bloggers. I don’t think they need to copy you…

The name didn’t exist a long time ago. Dennis, Lufthansa Flyer, was the one that came up with the name, and it was original. There’s no way he would have copied something that already existed. Take a look at the whois records for prior2boarding and you’ll see the name was first registered in March 2014 and the landing page that was up before the launch said “a new project”….if Randy owned the name “a long time ago” he would have registered it then.

I like it 🙂

It’s actually going to be a coordinated effort that will launch when Brian becomes TheCreditCardGuy, Ben changes to OneCreditCardAtATime, Daraius launches MillionCreditCardSecrets, and George switches over to CreditCardBloggerBuzz.

Lol.

I have a feeling Belgium may knock out Argentina who has been playing with fire…Messi just can’t be saving their assess in every game.

Already got it, thank you! I got 4 total Capital One referrals on this, we all take money from the banks, what’s not to like 🙂

Deal ending tonight July 3rd at 11.59 pm , see referral ink in body of the post!

10 dines at $40, no way!

Gotta run…but I can’t. Some type of injury…not sure what is wrong, ultrasound done and waiting….

I learned that the name existed from way back & they decided to bring it back.

Yes it is a business and there is competition 🙂

As I told you on twitter, I opened a Cap One Savings Account via the TBB link. I already had a checking account but was still eligible for the $76. In fact because we had an account there already, it literally took under 5 minutes. So if you are on the fence, it really is fast bucks. I hope you get the commission from the referral.

Between that and syncing two Amex cards with the $25 offer, I made an easy $126. Not bad for sitting at my computer. Too bad my other Amex cards didn’t have the Costco offer.

Gotta go make a spreadsheet for the minimum spends we need to do after H’s AOR. While he did not get any immediate approvals, he got no denials. We called in on 5 and waited on 2, and in the end he got all 7. BB’s new limits are just in time.

I do have to say that the name choice was really disappointing. As the co-founder of First2Board (and in our first 18 months), I/we are still working hard to establish our brand, loyalty, readership, etc. To have someone clearly hijack our name/brand and effectively replicate what we are doing is just sad, and confusing.

But, hey, this is business (I guess), and some people like to play games.
