Don't travel bloggers get free vacations?
I remember reading that somewhere.

Is that only in coach? Or am I completely wrong about free vacations?
Doesn't make sense to me that the big points bloggers are still paying for airline tickets.
TPG claims his policy is to never take free flights

What's the hook if it's not attainable for free?
Technically you can get it for 2.3 million points

Not always free,  but it gets written off as a business expense.

Y'all are funny, these airlines couldn't care less.

And a business expense is still real money out of pocket. There's no way bankrate dropped $32K for Brian to fly one-way to AUH.

He could've issued his ticket in ARS for a nice discount.

Am I the only one who wants to vomit after seeing this:


What exactly is this advertising anyway?
Can't really see it going viral. What's the hook if it's not attainable for free?

Lol, I may be the only one here, but on FT they agree with me :)
