Gary and Ben both run 'book with points' businesses.
Get paid for selling the dream to the customer then make the customer pay to get the reality. Make money coming and going. Brilliant business plan!!! :D ^ |

Award booking is a messy business, the effort required is nowhere close to the return you get selling credit cards.

The clickbait continues of course, today with "Global Entry is Becoming Tougher to Get - And Being Revoked"
The actual content is: - Nothing about GE criteria becoming more stringent, as the headline implies, but about the lengthy wait times currently being experienced for processing the initial applications. So - not tougher to get, just taking longer. Which sucks of course, but not the scare that the headline contains. - A "reminder" - link to a prior VFTW post - of things that can cause one's GE to be revoked (failure to declare declarable items, criminal convictions, etc); not the implication from the headline that GEs are somehow being suddenly revoked for some totally new reason or whatever. Both of the above are good pieces of info to be aware of - there really wasn't any need for the click-bait, but I guess when you're in the habit... |
Yeah - that post was pretty bad. The signal to noise ratio here is getting incredibly low.
I really can't think of the last time I saw a useful post on this site. I'm sure Gary's laughing all the way to the bank, but that's fine too. |
Does VFTW now block non-spam blog comments? I tried responding to a blog entry but my comment wouldn’t show up after submitting the comment; and so I tried twice more and they still didn’t show up. Maybe they will show up after a manual review? |

Maybe they will show up after a manual review? What is interesting is that VFTW seems to at times disappear entire blog articles along with all the comments to the blog articles. This is the second time I’ve seen this done on the VFTW blog within less than a year. Why does VFTW delete blog articles? |

Maybe to work on updating them? Or to shelve them until he has time to? We could ask him, but he doesn't post on FlyerTalk anymore (although he does read this thread). :( |

I don't recall the specifics offhand, but there were a couple of instances where VFTW posted about something...then some other bloggers posted about it as well. Then it ended up the information was shown to be wrong. I noticed that other bloggers updated their original post with a correction. Yet the original post from VFTW simply disappeared.
VFTW more recently did this disappearing act with a blog article about the British families who drove across a ditch separating Canada from the US and ended up in trouble with CBP/ICE because of it. |
