Just a quick post about the great injustice of losing credit card links and the lonely tough road of trying to blog responsibly, the worst credit card in existence, travel on a cloud safari, endless pimping about the First Friday “deal”, a few notes about the #WestCoastDO.

A quick post as I am in Phoenix at the #WestCoastDO. Always good to be around miles addicts who understand you 🙂
My Credit Card Affiliate Links will be Removed on Monday, November 10 at 12PM CT – Travel With Grant Very sad to learn this. Making it in blogging is really really tough. In a way, the rich pumping blogs get richer pumping away, the smaller more quality blogs struggle because they can’t be just pumping their readers non stop. Having joined this bandwagon lately ( a week) has taught me quite a lot I must admit. Let’s find a way to help the smaller blogs please! And that guy who keeps clicking on the Visa Black card link on my site, what the hell is your problem dude? Are you taunting me? Please don’t apply for that card, I would not be able to sleep at night if you get it…what a nightmare! 🙂 And Grant is really cool in person too! Great comments in the post too.
The Worst Credit Card That Exists – Doctor of Credit OMG. This card is major barf material. You should be charged with a felony if you apply for this card. Oh the horror…the horror!
Cloud Safari: Hike and Fly – The Adventure Blog Incredible video!
And now with Blog Buzz material…Need to comment/review/critique because this is what TBB does best 🙂
Don’t Forget! Today You Can Get 3X Points on Dining With Chase Sapphire Preferred – Million Mile Secrets First one out of the gate to remind us about the crappiest “deal” in existence in our hobby.

Top 10 Travel Credit Card Offers for November 2014 – The Points Guy Like we don’t pimp enough…
I want to publicly apologize to Stephen for stranding him at the Phoenix airport after a comical string of events that made me question my sanity. I compensated him for my screw up with a United lounge pass. I think it is not enough…Look for me tonight, I am buying you a drink or two.
First stay at Kimpton. As Inner Circle member. I am not that impressed. It will be paid by Arrival points. Positive is I don’t have too far to go to find my room staggering after drinking too much wine… I wish they read my profile better when I say “NO popcorn”…don’t give me popcorn! Wine hour and free coffee at the lobby is great.
Something wrong with TheFlightDeal tweets coming to my phone, I get one….SIX times! They are working on it but very annoying, drains my battery!
There is a mall across the street from the hotel here. I think our crowd has “spent” more than $100k there already!
You know you are in a gathering of miles addicts when you throw out stuff like starting restaurants that open only once a month. Guess what day? FIRST F*ING FRIDAY OF COURSE!
Ok, I got to get ready for the presentations. Here are a few pics…

First in the west #westcoastdo
You are Numero Uno, see you at lunch.
Thanks for cashing in your Amazon affiliate money to pay for lunch 🙂
You are very welcome. Thanks for all the help. The way to handle the pics in WP 4.0 was a big timesaver! You are as nice in person as you appear in your blog….unlike me lol.
Grant, if it makes you feel any better they pulled the Barclays links from Saverocity a few weeks ago. I think they’re cracking down on low volume sites.
This whole cc affiliate scene is indeed very murky….learning lots!
Stranded 3rd?
Ok…bronze it is, you always bring home the hardware!
Woo Hoo I signed up for one of your credit cards and got approved Georgie!
You are FIRST! Actually I haven’t seen it, it must take a while to show up. Come to think of it, how do I know this has happened? I am at the mercy of this company trusting it to track these properly…What a system….stacked against us 🙂 I really appreciate the support!
The Visa Black card you keep pumping has a glitch that allows you to load BB directly, but only at a kiosk. I plan on getting 10. Hope this is better than your Amazon link!
Just put all through the ‘Redbird’ at TGT. $5k/month, just churn CitiExec every 33 days, and be happy with extra 660,000 miles a year. Compliments of AA, Amex, Citi and Target — gotta love it.
Cheers,
PedroNY
Didn’t Exec change its T&C?
I do not kill deals. So please let me know more or….you are just messing with me 🙂
Just messing around. I thought I put a wink next to my post, but I guess not. Pedro NY’s idea, on the other hand…
George,
I have two questions for you.
What happened with Stephen? Did you leave him stranded? All is alright?
Secondly, you updated your blogs list of Love, Like, Ignore; however, why not throw your favorite external link on that list? theChive you link to at least 4-5 times a week, may as well list it, we know you love it!
Cheers,
PedroNY
Thought I was giving Stephen a ride only to find out that the guy in my car was some other guy who I thought it was Stephen texting back and forth 🙂 Very embarrassing on my part. Timing was absolutely…comical how this happened!
You are so right about the Chive…that is where I get all my funny pictures. Still laughing at the Free Cremation weener lol.
If anyone’s still up, Wideroe, everyone’s favorite Norweigan airline, is currently having a Delta sale to the Mid East/Africa. See FT.
Yes, there was chatter about that here. I took a look at it very last night heavily under the influence and decided to go to sleep instead 🙂
Hi George! Just wanted to let you know I’ve got a whole bunch of slaves working hard so that everybody can enjoy the 2022 World Cup!
http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2014/nov/07/north-koreans-working-state-sponsored-slaves-qatar
This North Korean state is some seriously phucked up material…Hope we see the day these people don’t live like that…
Nice meeting you in Phoenix, George. There was a bit of debate at the DO about you having credit card links, but I’m all for it. If you start aggressively pumping them then I’ll move TBB to the ‘blogs I ignore’, but I know that won’t happen. I’ll use your links if they are for a card I want and it is equal to the best offer.
Great meeting you too! And thanks for the support! I was ready for more controversy and backlash about my move and frankly it has been a heck of a lot more positive than negative!
This is all an experiment…Can bloggers who blog responsibly and put their readers first survive in this hobby or is it destined for bloggers to turn to pumping machines in order to…keep going?
It is up to you the readers!
If I turn into aggressive pumping BURN ME AT THE STAKE 🙂 I would rather go….to a once a week rant then and stop the Feedly blog review madness then lol.
I feel bad if someone makes a mistake and mistakenly gets a card without the best offer that I wanted to make a statement about reimbursing them the difference…but then the “compliance” dept will be notified by some “fans” to get me kicked out…so I won’t make that statement. #hint
Thank you again.
George, if I wasn’t 110% opposed to clicking on any affiliate link, rest assured you’d be numero uno. So take ccomfort while you eat your bowl of popcorn and drown your sorrows with middling quality red wine
Thanks!
I gave away the crappy popcorn Inner Circle amenity. And yeah I have had better wine. Not too impressed with Kimpton. But it was so easy finding my room late at night 🙂 Thank God for Arrival points woohoo!
