To be fair, Seth can be a bit of a troll.

Both those guys were on the final UA747 flight.

Troll or not, he was right this time.

Trash

Garbage
Common sense is not a gift, it is a punishment.
Because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

They did get James from OMAAT last week. He's pretty good.

I’m not saying any other sites are in bed with Marriott (just sharing limos to the Oscars), but one has to wonder if it’s a coincidence that a negative post about Marriott disappeared on a certain other site.

Sorry, but Lucky has pulled several posts as documented on the Lucky thread. He can't exactly claim moral high ground here...

Way to go DOC...

https://www.doctorofcredit.com/rumor-chase-to-launch-spend-15k-30k-45k-promotion-get-1-2-3-free-nights-at-category-1-4-properties-first-year-only/

Quote
The offer itself isn’t really useful, you need to spend $15,000 for a highly restrictive free night certificate and the earning rates on all of the Chase co-branded hotel cards aren’t very strong. In addition to the promotion will only apply to people in their first year. The survey was also gauging how familiar respondents are with ‘The Points Guy”,  in my opinion this is yet another indication it’s a Marriott promotion given all the positive press TPG has been giving Marriott as of late.

TPG has been an industry shill for years. Why is everyone waking up and caring now??

Agreed, and I stopped following them as soon as I learned anything about the game. I don't think people have been throwing shade this directly until more recently though.

I don't think they realize how selling out destroys credibility...

Who needs credibility when you're pulling in that much money?

The money comes from the credibility. If everyone realized how crappy his credibility was, he wouldn't have a following, and in turn, wouldn't have an income. Prey on the ignorant.
