Good afternoon everyone, I hope your weekend is going well and that the weather is not too bad wherever you are. I just wanted to thank all the readers for making February my best month ever in terms of total page views. My goal for February was to break the 100,000 total page view mark, but I completely blew past that mark, finishing at 121,103 total page views! My goal for March is to go for 150,000 total page views.
Good morning everyone, dang, I take one day off from blogging to finish my taxes (such a pain in the butt) and I miss out some big miles and points developments. I guess sometime between Wednesday evening and Thursday morning, there was an issue loading Redbird/Bluebird/Serve Cards and even logging into your account. I was able to load the last $1,500 onto my Redbird Card last night, so everything seems back to normal. I looked around my Redbird account and looked for new features, but didn’t see anything new. Frequent Miler has the latest info.

I added a few credit cards to my account and here are my successes and failures. Only my US Bank Club Carlson Business Credit Card worked, but apparently Barclays Arrival Plus is working as well.
Good morning everyone, I just had a lovely breakfast at the Renaissance ClubSport Walnut Creek Hotel (a version of the Marriott Renaissance collection that has a huge focus on exercise and fitness). I have relatives in town, so I checked them into their room last night and got them free breakfast, compliments of my Ritz-Carlton account (Gold Elite Status).
That brings me to my next point. Since I have relatives in town, I have decided to reschedule the SF Meetup that was originally supposed to be held tomorrow afternoon in San Francisco. I have moved the meetup to Saturday, March 14. Why so long? Let me explain… Continue reading
