Indeed, sometimes I wonder about humanity smh.

@ Sexy_kitten7: Aware no benefit shortcut, was just wondering what happens when you already have Precheck and shortly after apply for GE. Good info to know here. Will tell him to proceed or maybe just wait until Precheck expires and then just do the right that should have been done all along, apply for GE.

@ Christian: I am sure Bilt executive team will be right on it. Lol. All those bloggers wined and dined on the private island feel obligated, this is how marketing works. Even after repeated beatings by the program, they still can’t come out and say that Bilt sucks. Still can’t believe watching the CEO just waffling for almost 7 minutes “responding” to direct questions when that Wells Fargo story came out. And now Bilt is saying it won’t have info on what you order at Walgreens. Yeah, riiiiiiight.

The credit card clicks here have been totally silenced since 8/16/24. I mean, absolutely dead. And I feel horrible for having so much content here trying to sell them. Why do I suck so bad in marketing? Ok, don’t answer that. As this continues, I may even get kicked out from my second credit card vendor before the time comes to travel to Thailand and then my conscience is clear.

Lots to read, trying to be more eclectic to dial down the time spent on this blog to align with $ coming in. Always losing this battle lol.

Spent more than two hours with daughter on Whatsapp helping her enroll in the Microsoft benefits, 401k, HSA, etc. She hardly will have any $ left on her paycheck after fully maximizing for the year both 401k and HSA lol.

In case you missed it, the 120k Chase Ink Business Preferred ends very early am on 9/5/24.

Check it from my favorite bank here: https://travelbloggerbuzz.com/credit-cards/

Happy Labor Day

P.S. My beard has grown and starting to resemble a lot more of Santa Claus instead of George Clooney woohoo.

@DML: Glad IHG works for you. For me, maybe it moves up to a distant 3rd 🙂 Yeah, I was shocked abt that Monopoly article, blown away.

@ Nick PFD: Maybe when wife gets a 250k Amex Platinum…it will be added as an entertainment credit so we can afford it lol.

@ Carl: I almost cut that Short Stories link, it was a late addition.

Thank you for taking the time to comment, much appreciated. Lately it feels like the world of miles and points has passed me and relegated me to the zone of a few clicks and slow painful death. Your comments help!

Let me put in a plug for the IHG hotel group. In the last few years I’ve stayed
a three of their brands and all of them have been very good value for the points I spent. .
I prefer Hyatt but IHG has replaced both Hilton and Marriott in my ranking.
