TodayToday I just clicked on the big German flag out of boredom and ended up on ' You Have Been Upgraded' in German, which reads like someone cranked up Google translate, typed up a few paragraphs in German that reads very weird and then pasted all the images s/he made during the trip.

I've known Jen for over a decade. She's a real BIS road warrior. Looking forward to seeing if she has an actual Very Frequent Business Traveler spin, rather than a 'look what I got (and you could get!) for free!' spin.

Definitely willing to give Jen the benefit of the doubt. If the blog is as good as her periodic insights on Facebook about her travels, it will be worth reading.

Adding new blogs has certainly helpped traffic:

In the end UVs and page impressions is what counts in this business. And makes it an interesting asset to have.

Numbers still seem a bit odd. They show 181k unique US visitors so probably global total of 250k.
I get 96k monthly uniques for my little blog - http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/Headforpoints.com

What makes you believe that anyone is "forced" to produce any content? Some people like the cash income they receive for pushing the CCs; that's a choice they make. No one forces it on them.Originally Posted by f0xx
I wonder how long it'll be until she's forced to throw some cards around.

Well, you have to seed the site with some good stuff to retain quality UVs, they are certainly doing that.

Way to be on top of the basics. . .
Is Points, Miles, and Martinis better than the Points, Miles, and Maitais blog? Just curious as I would like to add my blog, Miles, Points, and Margaritas!! to BA.Originally Posted by lwildernorva
Points, Miles, and Martinis managed to have an article about an email received from BA on the Chase BA card trumpeting that there's a 10% discount for holders of the card on BA flights--as if it were a new, limited time benefit instead of a benefit that has continuously been in effect ever since I got the card in April 2011 (although admittedly BA places a deadline at the end of each calendar year that has now been extended three times to the end of the following year).Way to be on top of the basics. . .
I was going to call it Points, Miles, and Macadamias!! but I heard a rumor United is switching from macadamias to peanuts.
