Serious question. How do you handle a job that essentially could keep you busy at all hours of the day (even with a JJ to help). Do you have hours that you shut off your phone/computer and tune out the entire site? Does your wife sometimes go crazy when you are busy posting a "SMOKING HOT!!" deal when she's waiting for you to put the kids to bed? Would you recommend/not-recommend such a job to others?

(This is essentially a question for any time-sensitive-topic blogger or online news writer. It's just that Dan has been doing it successfully for a long time, so I would ask him specifically.)

Agreed. How on earth is your wife so accommodating? Granted she's not a stuck up city girl but sometimes I wonder. The same goes for @jj1000 since he's also at it pretty much 24/6.
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

When you travel with the family on business booked with award points (especially when there is a very limited award availability per flight), all the family is on business or do you split between J and Y ?

I'm pretty sure Dan's kids are convinced there are only 10 rows max on an airplane ;)

How it should be...

Jokingly:

How many miles would you be willing to give up for an Indians World Series Win?

Seriously (yes, I know the topic was one question):
1. Of all of the unique experiences you've bought/won/acquired through miles (i.e. throwing out the first pitch at the World series) which was your favorite?
2. When you started this as a bochur, did you ever imagine it would get this big?

I never thought that blogging would be a career choice.
