- The thing about co-brand credit cards is that banks borrow someone else’s brand for marketing. But that means accepting both the good and bad of the brand. When someone gets mad at an airline, about the only way to take out their frustration is… cutting up the bank’s credit card.
Thanks to @AmericanAir's mind-bogglingly obtuse customer service after an absurd bag charge (a bag that missed the plane, then they locked up bag in airport office for 12 extra daytime hours w/ zero communication), I canceled my AA @Citi card. pic.twitter.com/kYT30RNntD

- This Marriott manager has absolutely had it. (NSFW language)
- Hotel under fire for having a bikini-clad employee covered in chocolate as part of a dessert display
- United does such a great job recognizing the million mile moment.
@united So, this happened today. It took me several years to achieve, but I finally hit the million mile mark. Huge shout out to the crew on flight 731 for taking great care of us. Where should I go next? pic.twitter.com/UNZXP03Pf9

I’d like to know what made the employee run into the plane. That’s a pretty big object to miss. I’d also like to know what was said to the employees that made the man so mad. And finally why put a chocolate covered employee on display? Aren’t the desserts enticing enough by themselves? Maybe at a pay by the hour motel. Interesting stories Gary.
If SW wants to become an entertainment center, open a club.
I’d hate to be a captive audience to badly aspiring rap artists.
I’m about 50/50 between “driver fatigue” and “stuck accelerator” on the cart.
Thank God I wasn’t on that Southwest flight.
