These 5 Credit Cards Are Turning Into the Only Ones You’ll Ever Need. It’s the Devil, I mean, the Devil’s Advocate with a pretty good hellish argument!
We had two excellent posts at MileCards.com: How To Get To Australia With Miles and What Delta’s Award Chart Looks Like After Year Years of Devaluation Devaluations——>Ouch. But, no worries, pumping bloggers will fake their excitement to sell more Amex Delta credit cards, just like they did with the crappy Club1Hotels “free” membership offer…Ok, too early in this post to get angry, breathe, breathe.
Wyndham Expands Its Loyalty Program to Vacation Rentals and Timeshares. This is a huge increase in the numbers of properties available to members, from 8,000 to 25,000! This little ugly duckling keeps trying to be noticed…
Which hotel chains offer lifetime status? Good to know if you are anywhere close to these levels.

welcome back! Looking forward to pictures from the Iran trip.
Considering I just uploaded my June Asia pics….it will be a very long time before you see the Iran trip report here!
But I have been posting pics from the ground on Twitter, Here they are:

Damn… Where’s that intern when you need him!!!
You’d better not make us wait a year for the trip report, George.
See link above, sorry.
A Year? I’, just hoping for a trip report before a regime change.
In Iran I mean.
Welcome back, Buzz.
Thanks for the welcome back, it is good to be home.
Regime change is coming…eventually…in Iran.
But first it will come in the US.
Post your trip report now before Trump deports all immigrants who have been to Iran to support ISIS 😉 Never mind that shiites would never ever gel with sunnis.
Iran vs Saudi Arabia is like comparing Heaven vs Hell 🙂
PSA: Wyndham Rewards for timeshares may be the single worst redemption value in existence, and I’m including points for presents.
Saw your post about it and already slotted it in…for tomorrow. Enjoy the 4 extra clicks coming from my site 🙂
LOL. Got the DOC and FM bump today. Sweet!
Happy Monday…
Being a political junkie AND an #avgeek, I found the following article about the expenses of presidential travel interesting:

The full GAO report here: http://www.gao.gov/assets/690/680400.pdf
Not meant as a criticism of the current occupant of 1600 (ALL of them do it), but WTF? And all the while proclaiming the doom and gloom of Climate Change, etc., etc. His carbon footprint is almost as big as the inventor of the internet and/or the Golden Boy Leo!
Sigh.
Think I’ll move to … somewhere!

Any thoughts on Travel Codex buying / merging with upgrd.com? Never read the latter site at all but I always liked what Scott was doing.
You now have basically two mini Boarding Areas INSIDE Boarding Area, ie Travel Codex and Travel Update.
If Randy got a decent ad sales team he could create a pure play travel ad network.
I lead with this development.
I see Virgin Atlantic has joined in the revenue based tsunami. Cant wait to read Gary Leff ranting about all these companies do not know what they are doing lol.
can always count on disagreeing when raffles comments on blogs. reminds me of ta person who laughs in a movie theater when everyone else cries.
Eh?!
Exactly which part of this statement:
