Mile Nerd goes on another rant, this one about life in general and it is pretty good. It is his last post for 2017 as he goes on a two week vacation. I should do that but I prefer blogging to make all this money to buy more shit. Lol. Anyway, he will have a “big announcement” when he returns. Care to speculate what it is? Blog sale? Merge with TBB? Getting married? I should have a contest to win a Southwest drink coupon…all I can afford with my blog revenue this month 🙂
As United will now start flying direct to Tahiti, brace yourselves for even more hideous pumping posts selling credit cards helping you get there for “free”. Yikes!
This is pretty good actually: Seven Ways Five-Star Hotels Will Change in 2018. So, here they are: New fees, turn down service will go away, rooms will get connected, front desk will get a makeover, you will get appealed to your values (anti Trump hotel next? lol), more wellness stuff, prepare to be up sold more crap!
The 10 most luxurious movie theaters in the world. I love these! The ones in Madrid and Ibiza look amazing!
21 Things to Know Before You Go to Iran. This is great.
Mind blowing timelapse video of the Grand Canyon: SkyGlow. Wooooow!
This is great advice: Brag Wisely.
Revealing your failures along with your successes can reduce corrosive malicious envy and promote benign envy, triggering inspirational and productive feelings in others.
Great personal finance Lessons From the General Ulysses S. Grant. There are lots of scammers out there doing their best to separate you from your money appealing to your greed or fear emotions. You have been warned!
Check out this amazing Airbnb in Bandol in the southern tip of France. How about going for a swim in its 91-foot square pool? When Bankrate buys me out I will invite all the regular readers here, I think you can swing the miles to fly there, no? 🙂 Should we invite Ingy? #deepthoughts
Mind blowing pictures of New York City from drones!
The loneliest lighthouse in the world. It is near Iceland. You can now get to it by…helicopter!

I now have written confirmation that I will retain my Lifetime Platinum status I had with Fairmont President’s Club with Accor’s Le Club. Still not excited about it though, no more free nights and confirmed suite upgrades, sad!
I am staying silent for a 40k transfer INto my CSP card UR stash. There were some issues with getting my free Fairmont Visa night credited so maybe they gave me points instead. This is a mystery I am not going to try to resolve #stayquiet. Update: I transferred them all to United! I then tried to see if I can upgrade my coach award to Greece to Business class but I found out that I of course had to pay the difference in miles AND a change $125 fee. Bite me. My original flights were not available and the alternatives were not attractive.
Interesting stuff about BustOut scores and card shutdowns…What makes this hobby so addictive is…you are ALWAYS learning something!
It looks like the Old Chase Ink cards will be phased out and transitioned to “current Ink products”. Oh, so my cherished Ink Bold will turn into an Ink Business Preferred card? Sad!
Best comment ever, thanks Sam! I think you don’t live in the basement, you probably own several 😉
And I leave you with this…Commercial blogger addicted to the dinero from pumping credit card affiliate links?

U are such a hypocrite TBB. All this pumping you do every day and then you criticize all nice bloggers who keep converting their friends and family by telling them how to travel for ffeeee
Maybe your readers live in the basement and their credit scores are so low they can not get approved You are all losers following this guy to the inevitable demise. Follow your leader while I go to Denny’s down the street for the breakfast special because I need to make my nest egg last now because I was suchnan idiot to sell out so early…
Miss me some Ingy lol.
Old pumpers never die. But that wrist keeps pumping. Up and down.
Now that’s funny! Funny, because your net worth you disclosed to me in an email about 5 years (yes I still have it) is chump changed compared to my buyout amount. And with the Trump Bump, left you far in the dust.
So you have a nice time at Denny’s. Its about your speed Punk.
And come to think of it, did you ever clarify why your readers don’t use your links? I didn’t think so !!!!!!
Obviously not written to me, though it is a reply to my witty post.
Grab the reading glasses, pops.
Both of you are nasty.
What happened to the holiday spirit of love and understanding?
I miss our bot!
new Amex offers you guys! Spend $9,000 get 1,500 Amex MR points…oh, here are all my Amex credit cads tooooo.
TBB
hypocrite or truth dispenser
What does Ingy say? Silence….hiding in the basement playing solitaire again.
Off to dentist now
and then massage
rough life, phucking stock market making me richer…maybe Ramsey is right 🙂
DOW 25K here we come baby, thank you MR. PRESIDENT!
BUZZ, the wealth affect is alive and well….my sauces tell me (hey, i’m Italian), my sauces tell me people are spending like BURT REYNOLDS. Synchronized Global Expansion not the likes of which has been seen in my lifetime, it is NOT too late to get in the market.
Today’s Stock Pick by Ramsey……SMG, Scotts Miracle Company…………the legalization of pot and more specifically, growing pot in California (40 million people) goes into full blown effect Jan 1. SMG/Scotts and its lesser known subsidiaries (under different brands) is the best play here. They are into the chemicals and also indoor growing lights and more accesories. I know i used Miracle Grow quite often.
As I mentioned previously, here in the NW I turned 5 seeds into 48 Qt mason jars of Buds and must of thrown away 2 large garbage pales of leaves that could of used for edibles and creams. This leads me to believe the price of pot itself will drop dramatically as every old Dude grows more than they can use in a lifetime w/o any effort.
What I am trying to say is….just like the original gold, the folks who sold the picks and axes, were the ones who made out the best. Now pass me the joint and stop bogarting it Buzz.
Nice harvest! (And the Republicans always worry about the small farmer….no need if the farmers do like Ramsey)
Gary has queued this post up…. “Dan’s Deals promotes masturbation”

Dan’s pushing Plat Amex but giving stale advice on Airline $200 credit workarounds/ sometimes i wonder if his readers come first…..at least it is not about reacharounds!
Wow that’s interesting about the Bust Out fraud thing. I guess that explains some posts on FT about people getting weird reviews and account freezes just after a new account opening. Somehow I bet the Titans won’t ever blog about this!
Comparing net worths on a Friday night on a blog you can not stand…
If that is not just sad, I don’t know what is.
Please seek help.
“You are tearing me apart Lisa”!
Did you hear the news about DJ Mustard and how a woman got kicked out of a lounge for wearing uggs? – Travel though leader stuff, at View From The Wing smh.
George you are so wrong. I love your blog. Where else can I see Millennial Snowflakes follow a whiney jealous liberal socialist lead them into thinking that everything is so terrible and unjust.
Spend a few hours in your safe space George and come back when your attitude is a little more positive.
How was that Ramsey? Go Trump Go tax cut. MAGA!!!!!
And BTW every night is Friday night with friends and family that love you, your health and having a secure retirement.
Merry Christmas George! (Oh sorry Was that offensive?)
