I appreciate reader Rob sending this one. For all who have an Amex Platinum card, you should have already gotten status with hotels like Starwood, Fairmont, and Accor. Well, apparently now you can take that Accor status to Hertz and be a part of their impressive President’s Circle. One catch – I clicked the link and didn’t see the United States as a country choice. So this might take a little creativity. If you figure it out, please let me know and I can edit the post.
Also, thanks for the crazy amount of messages lately. I know how it goes when I write a post like yesterday (I tend to hear a ton of support from you guys). For all who asked me about the names and user names…do you honestly think I know who the Twitter/Reddit crowd are? At this point, I barely name bloggers. Except, of course, my favorite punching bag – Bozo The Bow Tie. Anyway, I think the post was pretty clear. I shared some of the things that were told to me by a very knowledgeable source. These factors “increased the volume” and were a big part of a chain reaction that “helped” kill big opportunities for everyone. If you know the individuals based on any of the specific immaturity referenced in that post, you know a lot more about them than I do.
Finally, thanks again to all of you who entered the gift card contest a couple days ago. The winner has been notified and is very excited. A couple thousand emailed entries came through in those 24 hours. Not to sound like a cornball, but I feel genuinely stressed that only one person gets to win. I’m a gambler by nature so I love seeing people take a shot. Really wish I had more to give but this is the most broke-ass blog around. Anyway, there’s still a couple of big prizes left so you’ll get another shot soon. Have a great weekend, nerds!
