This blog post is not an amazing deal by any means, but it is an example of a helpful blog. Why?
1. It told me something I did not know before.
2. It was short and sweet, with a working link to a deal that was exactly what the blog promised it would be.
3. While many CCs were mentioned, no CC links embedded in the text!
4. I spotted it on Boarding Area, which has, to my mind, a much more user-friendly layout than First2Board. Much easier to scan for something new on BA than on F2B, which has too much going on on the Home page, is very repetitive (links to the same blog appear in numerous places on the page), and seems to have less new material on a daily basis. Also, as someone pointed out on another thread, you have to scroll down quite a bit to see what's new on F2B, whereas BA shows you the newest stuff right on top.
Wish the link was to something more rewarding than 2 for the price of 1 movie tickets, but, hey, it still is an example of one way to do it right.

Not sure if the links the blog has (on a tab) to CCs are the best links out there, but the cards listed do seem to be cards I think are good to have, and are appropriate to consider for an AOR. I typically check FT to make sure I use a link to the best offer anyway, but it is not like the links are to cards that are simply not good deals for points and miles folks.
I'm still pretty new at this. Is this post typical of posts by Point Me to the Plane? Is this generally a blog I can trust?
