Update: Going forward, this blog will publish three days a week, Monday-Wednesday-Friday. That’s the plan anyway #developing #evolving
The fact that I am at a conference learning and having fun, in addition to the beginning of tax season upon us, may have something to do with it. Along with the promise to my wife that this blog will do exactly that if the plastic clicks hit less than the minimum (10 per month) three months in a row (ditto). But I got her to let me come back every weekday if they hit 10 for a month, lets do this you guys! 🙂
Knowing my track record here…I will check every day though…you just never know when I will feel the need to blog it out 🙂
This is good and honest advice, give him some support clicks too! New Hilton American Express Credit Cards FAQs: Points Bonus, Elite Status, Lounges, and More. So different than all these credit card pumping machines who will never tell you NOT to apply for a credit card that pays them sales commissions! THINK!
Tell me a better blog for beginners and great affiliate linking practices? I am waiting…Will likely be back in this list soon…
We all know about Amex’s ridiculous “once per lifetime” signup bonus policy. But try this to see if you can get around it. Then again, I have found the Amex chat reps not to be relied upon for, well, almost everything so ymmv.
Stop reading self proclaimed travel thought leaders when they are in fact credit card marketing leaders instead! Go a real travel thought leader instead for aviation news. If you are interested to learn about United’s new domestic growth plan, read THIS post by the Cranky Flier.

Another great post by Seat 31B. This guy is on a major roll lately! Flying Alaska Airlines For Fewer Points. Must read.
Excellent guide of the Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Program.
When you manage to book a trip with miles and points for six to Managua. Sometimes stars do align!
Back being a fan boy of Autoslash. Got car rental from $199 to $77 all-in. Canceling and rebooking on Priceline with the links they provide is very smooth!
Please don’t laugh. I started back again my trip report of my Iran trip. Last time I had stopped when I landed in Tehran. Now I managed to write (and add pics) of my way through the airport and to the hotel and crashing that first day. I will continue after I got up to hit the town at night 🙂 I am the world’s slowest trip report writer WTF! Then again, you do not come here for the trip reports 🙂 #patience #oneday.
What my eyes see every day for you guys? Can you tell there must have been a juicy commission to the bloggers on that underwhelming Capital One card?
And I leave you with this…cuteness alert!

Count me as an @autoslash fan! About the same one Turkey Day weekend in DTW… went from over $250 to under $90 for 4 days…
another new card, more pumping… what will be the new card to pump in 6mo?
First ?
Watching an almost full eclipse of the supermoon right now. Wow.
Execellant group of links to others doing good work today Buzz.
I just had an idea: Start a second blog and do that one the 3 days a week that TBB is silent. Then tell Mrs. TBB that you’re down to the 3 days a week, just like you promised.
No one gets a stamp where I live-the lines are too long.
Moon’s about gone now but coming back soon.
Educational links this morning. Thank you.
Buzz-
I don’t understand the Priceline deal with Autoslash. Didn’t you think that was DOA a while back? How’s it work-does AutoSlash still look all over for the best rates, or only at Priceline?
The moon’s been gone for almost 30 minutes. I think it may stay gone for good.
Look who realized clicking a few buttons from an email is worth saving money?! I couldn’t understand the brief autoslash hate phase you went through.
The entertainment media graphic is good, I wonder what happens with HULU. The equal partners’ thing kept it fair but with a new 60% ownership stake it will probably never be the same.
I will respond when I get to it today guys. About to hear a guy speak about technology disruption. The thing is… I know him and he interviewed my son last year and offered him a job!
I went through the clicks on Autoslash…and it is fine. My initial reaction was that it would be too cumbersome, it is not! Mea culpa.
gotta run, breakfast ending, need to grab something!
And never forget
Beautiful. Clean. Coal. LOL
Technology disruption…. like cryptocurrencies?
Sadly I will see less and less of cryto-genius James Altucher now that Facebook is banning all ads promoting cryptocurrencies. If only Google could do the same.
I prefer to live near wind farms. Quiet and easy to hunt for fowl at the base of the wind turbines.
Nothing’s easy when you go bird hunting with friends.
Smooth comment dick
Another one bites the dust:

He will be MISSED but not forgotten, RIP.
same goes for Oscar Gamble, no one has ever wore the Fro better with a baseball cap
never heard of that blog in my life
He is well down the BA food chain but not quite at the bottom 🙂
Rankings would be:
1. Ben
2. Another 3-4 (1 & 2 between them are 80% of BA page views)
3. The rest of BA
4. All of Prior2Boarding
5. Those on TravelUpdate
Seth now shows page views on Wandering Aramean so you can see his average post gets around 1,000 views. Heaven knows where the P2B people are.
I had never heard of that blog too!
I like the hierarchy though 🙂
raffles you need a hobby
Speaking of Baseball……Buzz do you have any plans to go see the World Cup live and in person this summer?
I am not going to Russia…for obvious reasons.
It is weird not coming here to see who posted FIRST! 🙂
Thanks to the reader who got a CSP card on January 30th. Five in January. Former TPG/MMS/VFTW/FTG clickers. PHUCK YEEEEAH!
Can you imagine how many conversions were left behind when bloggers sold so early 🙂
Full day of conference ahead. Which means late night drinking. I have most of Friday’s post in draft already, phew. Need to add a few more links based on today’s action…
“Can you imagine how many conversions were left behind when bloggers sold so early”
Can you imagine how many conversions were missed for being such a whiney, angry, copy and paste blogger that started way too late, yet still pumps the shit out of his readers, offers secured credit cards to unsuspecting newbies that already have lousy credit, and has to rely on a DONATE Button?
George, you couldn’t be more fun to “F” with. Sorry to see you go to 3 days, but considering how things are going for TBB, well you know 😉
Hehe based on ur post, it’s pretty obvo that YOU’RE the one being “F’d” with, just sayin….
All that anger has to go somewhere…
Poor Ingy with his unrequited man-crush on George. I bet there is a George shrine in Ingy’s basement!
