This site is ad free! You can support us by applying for CREDIT CARDS, please consider doing your shopping with our AMAZON AFFILIATE LINK and clicking/forwarding any of our REFERRAL LINKS. Or click on the ugly Amazon Banner on the right side, thank YOU!
Log into your Marriott Rewards account, click on the “Your Promotions” link and check out your own Megabonus promotion offer. I got a “earn one free night after two stays”. If my company were going to pay for this I would do my best to, cough, stay at a Marriott two separate nights! 🙂
How Each Airline Processes Complimentary Elite Upgrades. Good info here.
Looks like Safeway has stopped allowing purchases of Vanilla Gift Cards. It may be temporary or maybe not. Another one bites the dust. One step closer to switching hobbies to basket weaving or Tai Chi. And nope, bloggers hungry for clicks had absolutely nothing to do with this deal killing either #cough
Here is a way how to go about thinking how to maximize deals, like the recent Staples Software one.
How to Eat at a Bullet Train Sushi Restaurant. Very educational post by Wanderlusty.
Breaking: The first TBB DO will be in this remote luxury island. Since it costs just $60,000 a week please click my links like mad, thanks! 🙂
Review of a Bangkok ping pong show excursion. Fascinatingly…different. The scammy aura with these things turn me off 🙂
The Presidential Candidates Ranked by Their Usefullnes in a Bar Fight. One of the funniest reads I have read recently! Just one excerpt: “This isn’t just a warning about having Cruz on your side in a bar fight; don’t even enter the same bar as Cruz. As Cruz’s government shutdown stunt illustrates, he’s the guy who will goad, insult, and posture until you’re suddenly in a brawl you never wanted or needed to have. Once the fists start flying, he scoops the tips off the tables and weasels out the back.” Go read the whole thing if you wanted some good laughs. Because…TBB is primarily about entertainment!
Things I am pretty sure about. Fantastic personal finance post!
Amazing photos inside Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar.
Five Years After the Arab Spring:
And I leave you with this…How to drink your morning coffee in Norway. Lol
Some bloggers never post pictures of their wives and kids. Which it is fine as they value privacy I guess. But if you blog almost daily about how my wife did that or said that and we readers never ever have a clue what she looks like so we can make some type of connection with your blog…something is wrong. In my humble opinion. Frankly, I don’t think she exists lol. Anyways, I am trying really hard to cut down on my whining 🙂
Thank you for making TBB a part of your life, I am honored! Help bloggers you appreciate & make a positive difference in your life by spreading the word about their blogs, emailing and commenting and using their few $ links.

First
Ramsey and Kumar joint first.
Sorry boss, joint second 🙁
Kumar, I said Latte not Cappuccino, next time I send you out on a coffee run get it right or you will be soon looking for a job with TBB (and we both know how that guy pays). Now get back to work and stop fooling around.
Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Kumar digging…hang in there boss, we are coming to get you!
The streak begins. Two days of gold!
The first three way photo finish for first?
We need the ref to call this one…
We assigned this task to the intern. Judging how slow he is…it may be a while before the final decision comes out 😉
Numero Uno?
IST Grand Bazar is a tourist trap par excellence. My first visit there was ultra stupid. The second time it was part of a walking tour and the guide had a key to go on top of the roof and showed us a few metal workshops and explained some of the architectural features, which was nice.
Still worth a stop. One.
All over the blogosphere — can now redeem mixed cabins using LifeMiles! Hurrah for me as my ONLY mileage earning plastic is a local (Costa Rican) card earning LifeMiles. Heck, they are so cheap to buy, one doesn’t really need to “earn” them.
Meanwhile, back at TBB HQ, they must be scrutinizing the log files to determine First. Waiting with baited breath — or wait, that must be the rum in my cafe that is “baited”?
If the Lifemiles had an affiliate offer you bet the pumping bloggers will be screaming from the rooftop all about it. Now…they don’t really care that much #wrong
Damnit, I am back to work interning again and now I was assigned to figure out who was First! I think I will send my resume to Frugal Travel Guy, this never happens there! I will likely get paid more than I do here since they pump so much plastic.
Hehe
Hey, we got $5 through Moocho last night but I just…ate it, great sandwich! Thanks for all your hard work. U will get the most awesome recommendation!
That barfight one was funny.
The Safeways in my neck of the woods never had vanilla gift cards. The let me buy paypower though!

No worries because good luck getting those bonuses. Been fighting with them for five months (no kidding) to get my 25k Alaska miles for a checking account I opened in July.

The future is bright. Sarah Palin endorses Donald Trump.
Imagine being a sign language interpreter for Sarah.
Blood is running in the streets.
It could get worse…
Sanders vs. Trump

I am trying to put it all together, but maybe I do not read that blog… who are you talking about having a wife doing things but never seeing her? I am at a loss, and always like a good rumor or two.
Thank you for posting, I know it is not easy, I do appreciate it — enjoy it daily.
Cheers,
PedroNY
Down here in the middle of the Americas, it’s called “chismoso” or “chismas” — basically, gossip. Fortunately, I am fortified (by strong national adult beverages) against the urge to gossip.
However, my cat is ALWAYS curious, so, PedroNY +1…
I will reveal the name to my subscribers.
But first, you gotta subscribe.
Just had that demonic Titanic thought.
Hehe
