Cheapest Miles to India & the Middle East – Travel Is Free If you are not going to get any credit cards from me, that is perfectly fine…ONLY if you get them from this one. Thanks. If you get them from The Points Guy who managed to break the record (Held by Million Mile Secrets) of the most credit card affiliate links in ONE blog post (43!!!!) I will be terribly upset. And the 5% dude from that no name community college who keeps accusing me of pumping WTF is wrong with you???? There 🙂

The New Credit Score That Rewards You for Paying More Than the Minimum Maybe you should know this latest score coming from TransUnion. Frankly, all the different credit scores out there is a ridiculous travesty!

I am tired of criticizing the same commercial blogs here, I reserve the privilege to do so as they spontaneously hit me on Twitter, like this one:
It’s mostly due to a conversation I had with a good friend and reader who told me he always skips the bashing as it is always the same perpetrators (true)…So, if you want to know what my warped mind is going through you should follow me on Twitter where I let it all GO! This baby will have to be toned down, to save time primarily. Thank you for understanding. Focus will still be on going through Feedly and bringing you stuff I find entertaining, educational and sometimes inspirational…which happens to be the original never wavered TBB mission anyway!
Did all new exercises in my Thursday piyo (pilates-yoga combination) class. Just when I was showing some progress it was some incredibly difficult bone mending & stretching stuff so afterwards I felt like:

uno again! on a roll…
Disappointed that you’re not weighing in on the latest Redbird shutdown drama. Reading the postings on FT, Saverocity, etc etc sorely temps me to lock the door, strike a match, and walk away. What sayeth thou?
I am surprised Rebird still allows CC loading! I don’t know what to make of the authenticity of the letters. I think they are fake BUT I think something is going on and the cc loading days are numbered. Of course I said that when Rebird first came out so there!
I am sticking with Bluebird for two reasons: I am too lazy and the products is a heck of a lot more established. Besides, Amex may have some issues but they pale to the more recent Target issues with store closings and layoffs. I just don’t see Rebird making it…
I am trying to move away from too advanced topics, so many other places around the internet for that. I am going to stick to the eclectic roundups of my Feedly feeds. You guys all have the cards of my crappy credit card links anyway lol.
Buzz-
I had it wrong. I thought Paris When It Drizzles had to be some guy up against a wall.
Sorry for lowering the bar.
If third, I don’t deserve it.
You deserve higher than third!
Oh Sam. Sad but true.
***But LOVE the video!
I’m twirling in happiness right now! There’s not much I really enjoy out of life. But give me a dose of Paris, and it’s like all the holidays at once.
My next card application WILL be through TBB, i guarantee 😉 🙂
By that time they would take mine away for inactivity and then would have to pump the hell out of the Amazon links for a month to equate what can be made with just one card #blogeconomics #sad
And thanks.
George, I had a detailed look at all cards. Many cards are not listed there. For example, Citibank and US bank cards are not there. You may want to have these cards too. Many cards there I already have or not good for this game. Can you get Citi card links? My next app is due in a week.
Kumar, yes many are not listed there as this feature I was given SUCKS as I have no control over it AT ALL! I am in the mercy of what shows up there and it VARIES almost every day! For example, the Citi AA cards were there as were the Citi Thankyou and the Capital One Venture cards…now they are not. I am sure they will be back.
>>>>>>>>>>>>Many cards there I already have or not good for this game.
Bingo, you got it. You guys have had most of these cards…that’s the “problem” 🙂 And most of the cards that appear in this “tool” are just awful. I mean, who would get the State Farm card….Reminds me the Double Check commercials, eeek!
Hopefully, between me and BOP, we can get the latest card lineup listed here….which turns off people away from commenting. It is a tough world out there.
I should do a mega rant about how insane this blogging thing is….so much work for no $$ payoff….no wonder most just give up. Only insane people keep it up like me 🙂 Which is okay, it has turned into a passion. Getting a few cards per month will be nice, I am no Titan.
So…who can be FIRST?
To the person who keeps using my link to buy diapers, thank you! And to all who use the Amazon link, thank you too of course. To me, it is more like validation when I see clicks…that someone REALLY cares about what I do here. If anyone ever wants full details about this incredibly commercial operation we run here lets have lunch…as soon as I post something here I will get a ridiculous email “You violated the terms BOOM”.
Weather is warming up finally…

On a serious note, thanks and enjoy your weekend! It is going to warm up big time in Michigan!

I never expected such an honor. THANK YOU!!!
Also, did I tell you how much I loved this??? There’s nothing quite like Paris.
*Dances happy dance!!*
This is a pretty crazy road in France. At first I thought it was about Mont St. Michel, but nope!
Hope you enjoy! (watching the photo slides is amazing)

Yeah pretty cool, thanks.
To the guy who keeps clicking on the State Farm credit card link…come on, it is not funny dude!
Given that all links/clicks lead to Boardingarea, I happened to read a post by DP. “Sunday reader post: “Bob” warns us about AMEX GIFT Cards – $10,000+ GONE? ”
Bob’s handling the situation remarkably well. However, it goes back the most basic question, are you really keeping track of every and are you calculating the risk factor properly? Including, how will your partner handle a similar situation.
Most of us have probably had GC and VR fcukups. This just takes it to another level.
Ok, you made me look 🙂
Yeah, what a story. DP got lucky, made a reader fill content for another day and, shockingly, did not insert an Amex link in there lol.
Sorry I could not resist. I think newbies can get hurt doing this “hobby”…heck, even veterans. It happens probably more than we hear.
