Apparently we are all Hobbyists

or Hobbits

I am not, nor will be, part of anything labeled "The Hobby," some silly attempt on the part of the author to lend a level of faux exclusivity and an air of feigned importance to what is, essentially, just a hobby.

Dan, if we are Hobbits, will the 3rd installment of Island Hopper be labeled "The Return of the King"?

And we can rename Wal-Mart "Mordor"

Spoken like a true Kool-aid drinker. As they say, just because it's in Rolling Stone doesn't make it so

To be fair I have been known to walk over to my stacks of credit cards and say "My precious"

Ha! As if RS or DM would ever publish something non-factual!

I've been known to do the same thing to Walmart Customer Service associates.

YMMV

Aren't they all named Precious? Seems like a job requirement.

Huh? He only gets 2-3 cards every few months? Only earns 1M miles a year? He probably burns 1M a month...

Dan · « **Reply #691 on:** July 22, 2015, 03:03:11 PM »

Man I can't even imagine the traffic he's getting right now.
Still, I wouldn't want that article written about me.

I'm sure he's buying miles from the airlines to keep pace with his lifestyle.

You don't think they are handing them out to him? Publicity the airlines can get from him must be worth a million miles a year. No? I mean the importance of a good online presence is so big nowadays.

He says he buys miles (on promotion). He buys every single cheap business class fare. And supplements the rest with CC signups. Not all that crazy

If you believe that he flies as much as the article implies, there is no way that alone is sufficient. Unless he flies on hundreds of FD's a year.

You don't have to "believe" the article. He clearly documents on his blog how much he flies.

Why is there a limit to how many miles he can buy?

Then he has to be spending tens of thousands on purchasing miles!
