I thought that was some serious click bait. Am I wrong here? Feel like the headline is way over exaggerated. Or maybe Im just hangover and should have read the article again. |

NYPost is the grandmother of clickbait:)
Yeah I wouldn't consider it clickbait as the post title did begin with "Report:..." which seemed clear that it would be about a single report of the alleged buyer's remorse. I'd love for the SPG merger to not go through but I'd be surprised if it doesn't at this point. Not that I have any expertise but just the fact that it's gotten this far down the path. |

I'll disagree with you on this one. He analyzed an article from the NY Post, and goes through the exercise of developing reasons why the merger would continue on the current path. Actually consider the posting fairly well written.

I read the same article and did not take away that there is anywhere close to a high chance the merger won't go through.

Momondo
VFTW is really pushing Momondo in a lot of his posts. Anyone know how their affiliate program works?
Example: http://track.webgains.com/click.html...programid=8613 |
Momondo passes on a percentage of the affiliate commissions that they make from sites they refer to.

In one of the comments, Gary claimed he got 50 cents for each booking through the link, FWIW. In my experience the site does not work nearly as well as competing sites. Would he really sell out his readers for a few dimes? |

But it's definitely based on a percentage of the affiliate revenue that Momondo makes off the click. |

VFTW is recycling his buddy OMAAT's click-bait with today's "Man Arrested After Overuse of Priority Pass Lounge Access". Of course, the guy was arrested for forgery - having created fake BPs - not for using his Priority Pass too much.
But hey he was sure to "hat tip" OMAAT! |
So Gary has never had high-end sushi in Tokyo, apparently.
