Lucky is probably the worst of them all.

In his description he says he spends 100+ days in hotels and flies 300k miles a year. That's 12 times around the world, all in premium class. There's not enough credit cards out there to rack up that many miles, while burning them at this rate. One or two years, maybe, but then you stop being eligible. No way anyone can generate that many miles, even manufacturing spend. And how much would you have to make "travel consulting" to afford to pay for those flights? I'm pretty sure he's a trust fund kid.

Why should we care? Because if he's going to be selling a pipe dream to get card referral fees, he should probably come clean that what he does is unrealistic for the average person.

Also his blog doesn't even provide any new useful tips anymore, just bragging about another "product" that he tried. Who cares if the steak is tough on your first class flight?
