Well, I almost forgot to do my monthly pump post you guys, so here it is on the very last day of the month while I am traveling out West for a conference.
Well, I don’t really promote this site other than this monthly post, the scheduled posts I do on Twitter (including a pump tweet around noon every day) and of course the one paragraph on the top of each post. No ad revenue which means pages view don’t mean much. I haven’t changed the way I do this blog in a long time.
Amazon clicks have gone way down ever since JetBlue made a deal with Amazon to earn miles shopping there. There is some revenue from the indirect credit card links provided by CreditCards.com so if you can get the best offer and know what you are doing (hope you are if you are reading this blog) I sure appreciate the support when you get them here. This month was the best ever but most of it was due to the amazing Chase Sapphire Reserve card.
I have no plans to globally expand like The Points Guy ok? Just keep doing my thing, enjoying the process and keep entertaining, educating and inspiring.
Ok, here they are, thanks to the amazing “cut and paste”. I always get some hate email when I do this which has gone down as time has gone by, interesting. I realize I am on the internet and I know you can’t please everyone.
Ok, the obligatory gif to leave you with…
Support TBB
I appreciate all the support to keep TBB going! I focus on the content here and hardly ever spend time on promoting my site. I rely on you to forward my URL to your family and friends, subscribe and participate in the comments. Thank you!
I get bombarded by crap to promote to readers all the time. I delete them. I only offer links to stuff I use and like myself! I don’t know how other bloggers do it…I mean, promote crap just so they can make some money, boo!
And now for the official Disclosure: Some links on this site, like the Amazon links, may be affiliate links. If you click on one of these links and buy from the affiliated company, then I receive some small compensation. The modest income helps to keep this blog going. Affiliate links do not increase your cost, and I only use them for products or services that I’m familiar with and that I feel may deliver value to you.
The stuff below is TBB approved!
CREDIT CARDS
You can learn more in TBB’s credit card page. Or, if you can’t wait to get started, click on the CreditCards.com banner on the right!
TBB Amazon Affiliate Link
Please start your shopping HERE.
Or just go straight to buy/add to an Amazon eGift Card!
You can get 3 JetBlue miles per dollar if you start your shopping within your JetBlue TrueBlue account!
ExpressVPN
Best VPN! Worked flawlessly in Iran. Based on reader feedback and discussions with mega travelers, this baby just works everywhere, including China. And it is easy to use too, if I can do it you sure can too. Check it out!
Roboform
BEST password manager! I LOVE this program and have been using it for years. Without it I would really not be able to function online! It also acts as a form filler and password generator. Best money I ever spent online! You can check it out for free before you decide to buy HERE.
ebates
The most reliable online shopping portal imho! Not the highest rates but I NEVER had an issue with them and they pay fast!
We each get $10 when you sign up with my link above after you make a $25 purchase (or higher), get it HERE.
Uber
You sign up and you get $10 credit off your first ride. Credit amount can vary! Start HERE.
Lyft
When you download the app please sign up with my referral code: GEORGE705317
You get $10 off in each of your first five rides I believe for now, subject to change.
Airbnb
Please email me for a referral. Standard offer is now $35 off your first Airbnb booking.
Capital One 360 Savings Account
I have had two accounts here for many years. No fees! It does not pay the highest interest rates but it is still high. The best online bank website in my opinion. If you are into credit card churning please be aware that the company pulls your credit report from all three agencies if you apply for a checking account (NOT the savings account!). You can learn more about this in the Capital One 360 website. If you open an account you can earn $25 and they pay me $20. Start HERE.
Top Cash Back
We both earn $10 I think. TopCashBack has the highest cash back rates consistently. Start HERE.
Silvercar
Please email me for a referral. Limited US cities. Rents only Audis! In general, very good experiences. Credit off your first ride varies, usually $25.
I appreciate the support, thank you!

65…in the phucking deicing lane at DTW…Bye bye connection in ATL…now minute 75 waiting our turn…phuck!!!
Long day ahead
Ugh that’s no way to start a trip – hope it all works out in the end.
Can’t go wrong with kitteh gifs. Since Jetblue doesn’t operate close enough to my home to be useful I’ll still keep using your Amazon link FWIW.
Still no Jet Blue miles from Amazon buys!!!
My link works every time!
Thanks
Just guessing Caroline’s trip is nuked.
DTW was a clusterphuck this am, wow!
Flying to Chicago from Atlanta now.
TBB post in jeopardy….all those clicksnot converted bwahahahahaha
I checked availability while you were in the air to ATL and saw space via MSY and DAL. Figured you would snag one or the other while enroute or that WN would proactively protect you before you got to ATL.
I should have sent you a tweet — getting stuck backtracking to MDW is the pits. #MeaCulpa #sorryBuzz
Landing in SAN. It was okay.
I cant call anyone a titan who cant secure a direct flight on Delta from DTW to SAN. Connections inside the US when direct flights are avail #DeltaBiasIsShowing #DontEverConnect
Wanted too many skymiles.
have too many SW certs
Buzz-
Are you going ORD to JFK to get to a transcon to San Diego?
Mileage running-those were the days.
nothing to do with mileage running…I wish!
DOC is def better than TPG and MMS. But he is Reddit and Reddit is him. New name Doctor of Reddit.
