In reply to Carl Pietrantonio. The Sofi plugging is b/c virtually anyone can get it with no hard pull in just a few minutes, plus there's no 5/24 type rules to deal with. I signed up for it before the referral jumped to $100 not b/c of the $50 bonus, but b/c I don't have a card with free international ATM fees. I had looked at Charles Schwab, but the process seemed tedious. I sent my referral to a few friends that could benefit from it, and made $400 with 5 minutes of work.

FYI if u want United miles but have better uses for the extra $10k spend, get a paper app or code from a United flight. 50k/$3k/3mos but not as good a deal for TBB sorry.

Airbnb has some scammy places and quite scammy practices if things aren’t what u expected. Caveat Emptor is hard to do remotely!

In reply to Matthew. What I have noticed lately is the incredibly HUGE amount of plugging for that SOFI card and asking people to use their referrals. Looks pretty lucrative. Yes, they plug CCs and such a LOT MORE now than they used to when it was just Greg. Guess he is going for the big business angle type thing.

In reply to Ryan.

@Ryan, I have been using Airbnb for several years and (almost) without fail it has been a much better experience than staying in a boring hotel. In fact, I am in one in Naples right now AND I LOVE IT! In the heart of the Spanish quarter where it is so lively. Yet I have a nice apartment (Studio with loft) just for me WAY cheaper than a crappy medium grade hotel.

I make my own coffee, fast internet (No extra charge!), etc. I love Airbnbs. I’ve not tried VRBO since I always travel solo and when I look at VRBO it seems to pricey for a guy like me.

Also, I am a Superhost (not a big deal, except for a $100Credit after 4 straight quarters of being a superhost.)

But when I travel, this is the way to go if you ask me. I have started trying their “Experiences”, too and in fact today was a great personalized small cooking class. Fun!

That Airbnb article (I think you posted last week but I didn’t read until yesterday) is awful! It makes my blood boil to see people getting taking advantage like that (by the scammers
and the co). This is why God invented arbitration! And did you notice only the lawyer got her money back!?!

The credit card posts at Frequent Miler are now coming. Every. Single. Day. And waiting for another #50kfaraway series…and then we get #60kfaraway and so forth.

So, why are you still recommending this blog again?

It now comes down to just you, DoC and DansDeals…rest are complete sell outs faking excitement blogging about the same shit over and over.

Holding out hope that Delta and AA do not match United…but not betting on it.

The aerial photography link is fantastic, thank you very much. Not sure where you find them but you are sure a bit of fresh air, love the variety here.

Years ago I used VRBO on occasion. Anyone on here use VRBO recently? They worked out fine in my experience but curious how they stack up now against Airbnb (which – knock on wood – I’ve not yet had any problems with).
