A brief overview of Travel Blogger Buzz and some of the features designed to keep you educated, entertained and sometimes even inspired! The reader always comes first here. And conversions last lol. Thank you for the support this month, posting three times a week including Wednesdays will continue next month, TBB on!

I would like to welcome all new readers from Oprah, Judge Judy and The Bachelor! I wish. Seriously, I want to welcome the four new readers who had the unfortunate experience of having me go on and on about my amazing (in my own mind) blog. So, let me give you a brief overview and some links you may want to check out.
You can receive an email with each blog post by typing your email address on the right side and clicking on SUBSCRIBE.
I keep an updated list of recommended blogs/sites for you. Several blogs/sites were taken off the lists mostly due to not being updated. And a few additions as well.
I also keep a page with past full Trip Reports which I have found to be incredibly time consuming to put together and there have been no updates for a while, sad!
The link below is a resource with links to all blog posts that have appeared here with original content. As in, not curated Buzz type posts…which still remains the main focus of my blog. It is split in several sections, as in Travel Hacking Scores, Newbies, Personal Finance, Epic Rants, Miscellaneous, Other Trip Reports (shorter!), Lost in Thought and of course the full Trip Reports again.
A Collection of All Non TBB Buzz Posts in One Place
What are some must read blog posts?
This one is for newbies: So You Want To Travel For Free Like Me? Are You Sure? This hobby can ruin you if you are not one of these people!
My best/epic rant: The “Travel” Miles/Points Blogosphere Has Turned Into a Giant Credit Card Pumpization Scheme! Written in 2014, it has gotten worse! Be careful who you patronize, this is a HUGE business and profits come first, not YOU! Unlike here at TBB where YOU come first, always!
My travel hacking masterpiece: Cross Country Amtrak-Seattle-Santiago & Buenos Aires. Those were the days…
The most beautiful place I have visited, Lake Louise: Banff Lake Louise Jasper Fairmont. Miss the Fairmont Presidents Club program so much. 🙂
My favorite Personal Finance piece: Top 10 Financial Lessons
I always close my posts with a funny gif/pic. Because laughter is the best medicine.
And I leave you with this…

So when does the 1040-CAT appear? The income from mouse pelts on eBay can be considerable.
Thanks for the links!
1040-Dog! Happy to see the Wednesdays are back for another month.
Bronze! For the Pacific North West! Yay for Wednesday posts! Love the epic rant!
Lake Louise looks nice. Have you been to Yellowstone / Grand Tetons? I’m wondering how they compare.
No words on when the 1040-CAT form will be released. Meow 🙂
Readers have spoken, Wednesday posts stay for next month at least. Had the most conversions in one day yesterday. Just imagine if Ingy had not sold so early 🙂
That epic rant is still my all time fav post I have done here. The same bloggers still pretty much are doing the same thing…and even worse!
Funny you mention Yellowstone. A few days ago my wife says “we should go to Yellowstone” and I am like….you know, maybe just maybe take some time off from what you are doing to, you know, maybe do some research on how to put everything together because I ain’t got the time”. #developing I hope 🙂
Check out Miles To Memories new way to make money to share with readers how to travel for free LOL.
$10 per month “early bird” rate…I think they are undercutting the other hobbyist Vinh who is now at $40 or $80 per month. Wanna bet this is only going to be enhanced…upwards?
Remember when we did this all for free back at flyertalk George?
Is Ingy okay? I noticed you took Pointchaser off your list of Blogs To Ignore. I wonder if it will be back on if Ariana hires him back?
One more thing, why is Saverocity still around?
Have a good tax season 😉
Definitely BLOG BUZZ material!
As I said, this is now a business, the good old days of Flyertalk where everyone knew each other are long long LONG gone.
I have not heard anything regarding Ingy, I hope he is okay and not anything health related.
One of the remaining blogs at Saverocity is shifting to a newsletter, that Joe dude. I think Matt should make a deal with Randy and transfer them all to BA so he can move on 🙂
Wanted to get the first tax return done but my daughter will not go pick up her W2 until this weekend smh.
how do you make a deal when no one cares or visits your “forum” or website? Matt looks like he quit on Saverocity years ago and it shows on their site.
I used your Chase link to open an Ink Preferred card. It took a couple of weeks to get approved, but I hope you received the commission!
Thank you!
Wife applied for CFU on January 21 and still not approved! I wonder what is going on…why it is taking so long! Anyone having the same experience if not instantly approved?
And she also used my links 🙂
I hope the boys at Miles to Memories will still talk to me after tomorrow’s post…
Oh Knoes, what will you do if those leeches dont talk you anymore.
Hey Buzz,
I applied for an Ink Preferred through your link in early December. I had to jump through hoops, apply for a nom de churn, but they finally gave in and gave me a credit line of about $12.25. I’m working on the minimum spend now.
So when do you get paid:app approval, min spend met or after I use the 80k URs for a trip?
Paying to join a newsgroup? When tricks last a few days? Go put the money on the 49ers, kids. At least you got a chance that way.
A Saturday post? For real? Not just a review of this week’s highlights? Just like the old days.
And now the resellers are offering respiratory face masks at big mark-ups. It’s a great country.
Wait a minute-tomorrow’s Friday.
Never mind.
Sometimes I lose track of what day it is too, maybe it is aging? 🙂
Yeah, why is Chase taking so long these days? Thanks!
Approval.
What Saturday post? No way.
Masks don’t work but make you feel better 🙂
