The latest edition of The Top 25 Credit Cards by Mile Nerd.
The details of the new Amtrak Guest Rewards credit cards by Bank of America are out by MileCards. I am not excited. At all. Yawn.
More details on how to go for the Amex Everyday 25k signing bonus and Amex Blue Cash $250 bonus at Miles To Memories. Or I guess we could be pumping the 30k SPG Amex cards that pay us to oblivion. But we are not #hint. I have been on the fence on that 25k Amex Everyday card for several days now. It will be my fourth personal Amex (in addition to the Business Platinum). The signing bonus is the highest ever…but for some reason I am hoping for another BIG bonus to put into that slot…
Get 300 LaQuinta points watching a video. Standard offer that comes around often, extend the life of your points. I promised to do a complete hotel review when (if) I burn these points for a free night, including toilet pics lol. The first link worked for me. Using the link without watching the video did not work for me.
Android Pay is live and is coming to Discover soon by Doctor of Credit.
Running With Miles has accomplished an amazing feat: Run 6 Marathons in 6 Continents in 5 Days. Wow!
If you only have three days in Hong Kong, this is a great list by AFAR on what to do.
Everything you needed to know about Travelers Century Club (TCC). All along I thought this was an unofficial title for people to keep track of the countries they visit. I was not aware it was an actual organization you become a member of after paying an initiation fee and then you are hit with annual fees. It even has Silver, Gold, Diamond and Platinum levels, now you are talking! I post stuff that interests me always remembering the TBB mission…

20 Money Moves to Make Before Year End. I can’t argue with these…
Hiking into a Glacier. Oh Twisted Sifter I can not live without you…
You can buy this “Volcano House” for $650,000. The thing is…it’s location, location, location. This baby is in the Mojave Desert! If I was a Titan I would buy it and hold miles/points seminars here and charge only double digits hehe. Byob please lol.
The Art of Burning Man 2015 I always enjoy looking at the pictures from this event. So Mad Max-like!
TBB readers rock!
And Titans blow! The SPG Amex selling was again off the charts, so much pimping makes me sick! Why do you take it? Aren’t you tired of the bullshit? Went on a mini rant on Twitter and it’s too late to reproduce here. I feel deflated after watching the Detroit Lions…again.

One perk of back to school: first!
Aaargh! 2nd!
Great start to the week, Buzz, with a post filled with interesting, informative stuff.
Looks like when we describe the enormity of the Titans, we used that word wrong but we were right anyway. Pretty smart bunch of haters, aren’t we?
Third.
Naive question,
I was reading “20 Money Moves to Make Before Year End”
And noticed this statement
“Employees earning over $118,500 will get a boost in their paycheck toward the end of the year after they’ve maxed out their Social Security contributions for the year”
Is this correct? Your SS contribution is not averaged out over the year assuming constant monthly /biweekly payment? => If I hit $118,50 in wages in July, my taxes will be 6.2% units less for the rest of the year.
Yep, once you cross the limit, they stop deducting.
@ dia and @plane2port: This could be a real rivalry for Gold!
@ Sam: Thank you. The amount of SPGAmex is reaching even more hideous levels, wow!
@ ABC: Yes, I am confirming @Oliver2002 here. Pretty nice. You can spend it all here with my Amazon link #couldnotresist #becomingTitanic lol
Nice, thanks for the Hong Kong thing.
Android Pay, hmmm . . .
Got my Nexus 6 for Google Project Fi today, woohoo ! ! !
