But I agree that there's still a lot on TPG that's just not very good. I continue to read the site occasionally for the "hidden gem." Recently, for example, I liked their intern's series on East Coast Admirals Clubs. It's useful to me, at least, and I thought it was well done. I also like the monthly points/miles valuation.

Nevertheless I find my time is usually better spent elsewhere -- such as here on Flier Talk.
What the hell are you talking about? The point of The POINT Guy is to "maximize your travel." The blog is about earning and burning miles and points. The SQ deal will earn little to no miles for those that fly it, which is ironic for a blog about earning miles.
