💳 I did something different here and wrote an opinion piece on Bilt 2.0

The more I think about it, the more I see red flags 🚩
Bilt 2.0 is no longer about loyalty and rewards. It is about attention capture and forced engagement

Thoughts? 👇🏻

The Centurion lounge is still one of my top favorite lounges 💺 Finally got a chance to try out the one in DCA ✈️

Great food 🍽️ & drinks ☕ and no line. A little crowded though so I didn't take any photos inside

🤔 It looks like Bilt may have removed online resale marketplaces from the list of purchases that don’t earn points. If true, eBay and similar marketplaces should be earning points again. Can anyone confirm?
January 22, 2026 at 4:44 PM

The Sony LinkBuds Clip are official. I thought these would use bone conducting technology but I was wrong. These are instead lightweight open ear earbuds that are like cuffs 🎧

Curious how comfortable these would be 🤔 They look fun for sure

🤔 I’m a bit concerned about these leaked S26 Qi2 power banks.

The shape strongly suggests the S26 series might not be compatible with standard third-party Qi2 power banks. That odd cutout around the ring looks like it’s there to accommodate the camera bump 📱

Thoughts?

Asus may be exiting the smartphone market 📱 with the Chairman saying that they won't be adding new mobile phone models in the future. Asus had a very small market share but it is still sad to see one more company exiting this business

Delta Airlines ✈️ continues to hint at a "business class basic" coming in the near future. I think this would make the travel experience worse despite Delta saying they are giving travelers more choices

What do you guys think of the concept of a Business Class Basic? 🤔
January 19, 2026 at 5:19 PM
WestJet ✈️ is backing off on its plan to cut seat pitch to 28 inches and will stick with 30 inches instead! 🍁 Congrats, I guess the public outcry and petition worked!
