A 30 minute conversation on how to maximize their points? Probably the worst use of SPG points in history. You should GET 15k SPG points for attending!

This week I stayed a the LeMeridien Hamburg and to my surprise TPG showed up on the endless loop video SPG plays on the TV when you switch it on. It shows Brian K at some spg property enjoying life with a lady friend, champagne and luxury car rental all made possible because he uses the spg Amex 💩

There should be an * next to his name in the commercials. I'll let others fill in what the footnote should be.

I appear (not speaking) for literally 1 second in the SPG London video with a woman who is pretending to be my partner but isn't!

It's really a shame how low this blog has sunk. I used to read it all the time before he sold out. Now it's all UA, all the time. I presume they are paying a lot for all the advertising.
