Your personal finance fix of the day: A Gift From God. Love the last paragraph: “The more research I do into market history, the more I realize that all bets are off, especially when you’re talking about a twelve-month period. It’s scary to come to this realization but the fact of the matter is we have no idea what the future holds. While it’s true that stocks have been higher three years after a 52-week low 86% of the time, there is simply no way of knowing if we’re currently in the 14%. Because of the permanent uncertainty in markets, it’s so important to have an investment plan in place. Market returns are beyond our control, but having an answer to all environments, even if that answer doesn’t immediately yield positive returns, is a very liberating feeling.”
The best beaches in the world. According to TripAdvisor users so beware.

What to do with your favorite bank’s credit cards. Tick tack…
Where is Drew? Why don’t pumpers quit instead? Oh, maybe it is because they pump 24/7. Not fair. Only YOU can change this!!!
70k Hilton card, one lifetime bonus only, so sad.
Writers there just collect their paychecks and stay silent while this horrific pumping display goes on and on and on…sellsellsell! Don’t miss them in person at the Chicago Seminars!
WalMart goes for the kill…bananas to the rescue!
And I leave you with this…

First. Read it and weep, like a Marriott award chart!
I avoid Marriott charts…I weep enough without them 🙂
Second cuz I can’t sleep!
Me too….I now wake up at 5 am like clockwork to add the latest TBB worthy stuff to the daily post, I need intervention 😉
Second
Nope. Third!
Many had the same experience here but get over it quickly!
What the heck are they going to talk about at the manufactured spending session at FTU?
Money orders
Structuring 🙂
Reselling
Packages
Didn’t Marriott CEO Sorenson also say less than a year ago that Marriott is not interested in acquiring Starwood? I agree with your assessment, George. I think SPG members will be screwed.

Marriott is the Delta of hotels #notprettyforus
George, I may never be a first 🙂 but I love the AFAR posts and when you post anything about best Bars…with all the bad news in the “Game” (not hobby what are we 12 years old here ) it is good to read a blog (when you are not negative) that makes me smile and enjoy the ride…
I have gotten more grief about the AFAR posts than anything else, including what you call “negative” 🙂
I have the Ignored blogs in a List on Twitter…and I see these tweets and can’t help myself. I see this as PSA…because it is about education. Someone has to save the newbies!
You can be first…why not? #neversettleto2ndlikeNickPFD 🙂
The AirBNB post looked like a commercial (which I’m sure it is). I was excited, but those places didn’t seem too interesting.
Yeah, not going to debate it…Saw that a few minutes later after I inserted the post about the IHG London properties and thought it would be a great addition to it because the prices were certainly attractive. Thanks for the feedback. I need to be careful about stuff coming from “Business Insider” more!
Blog not doing so well? No more giveaways? Need to pay for a divorce? Go to Ebay and resell! Haha http://goo.gl/gMYpFb
Wow….
This is so blatant, wow!
If this is really Emily…oh boy, guess her attorney sucked!
If not, out of so many pics to steal…this person found this?
Or it could be the AAdvantage fraud team culling the herd of fraudsters!
The second version is the most likely simply because the other two are simply improbable. Come on now…
Seriously? #wow
Calling reselling MS… LOL They need something to write about I guess…
It’s all about the SEO 🙂
Buzz-
Here are some cards that TBB could offer, likely on an exclsuive basis:

I haven’t been able to track down the sign-up bonuses, but I don’t think the Citi 18 month rule applies.
Hope the 5/24 rule never reaches them! 🙂

Ideally tbb could do a similar post for tpg on Tuesday if we all work together to make it happen…
I actually saw that and I started mentally preparing questions….and then I caught myself “WTF are you doing?” so I stopped and went on with my day…
I KNOW he would not respond to every single one of them #wasteoftime
A testimonial here, and no I am not a professional actor.
When I first started reading up on this subject, I came across a website/blogger offering a $500 “bootcamp”, which would surely put any newbie into the frequent flyer fast lane. Then I got a little curious as to whether it was really worth it, and whether the information might be available through other avenues.
Thank goodness I stumbled on this blog. Whatever happened to that bootcamp guy?
That’s Travis from Extra Pack of Peanuts, who is referred to around here as “the Ginsu knives salesman.”
I haven’t been back there to his blog for a very long time. It seemed he moved on from miles which was likely a good move considering how few now have Chase direct affiliate links. He went on all podcasty and even took him off the Blogs To Ignore list…
Wish him the best. Interesting guy, appears very nice, never met him personally. He put a lot of work into this, that’s for sure.
Breaking: Jeb is out. And this is the point where everyone braces themselves terrified…oshit, this Donald clown may win!
BreakingJustNow: Ted Cruz to carpet bomb South Carolina!
Trump is not the craziest one in the group. That honor belongs to Cruz. Read about his dad and their religious beliefs. Almost cultish.
Lol, Ginzu. 😀
EPOP podcast is now up to 227 episodes, an hour each. Clearly Travis found a niche that worked for him, and with a lot less competition.
