Yesterday night I was a little bit bored and my twitter feed was filled with stories from the TPG awards. I thought it would be fun to put something similar but different together, so I created the first annual DoC awards. Think of DoC awards as the Razzies (Golden Raspberry Awards) but for points & miles. I’ll just be embedding the tweets because I’m lazy, keep in mind some of the tweets contain bad language.

Worst new credit card goes to the Barclays Arrival Premier. Fantastic work by the team at Barclays to make a card’s value proposition so difficult to understand and then not offer a sign up bonus. https://t.co/ldyiXW63dW

Biggest fuck up of the year goes to whoever made the American Express Amazon 20% off promotion work twice within a day. Very rare not to see Citi take this category out with their general level of IT incompetence.

Worst merger & acquisition goes to Marriott & SPG. Just when you think things couldn’t have gotten any worse it was revealed that 500 million people had their data breached. https://t.co/BOnwjpcKMa

Worst credit card perk goes to TSA PreCheck. Is it even a perk when you have it on 15 different cards already?

Worst premium card of 2018 goes to U.S. Bank Korean SkyPass, I bet you forgot this piece of garbage even exists didn’t you? https://t.co/54HwBTZxvJ

I’ve had a lot of backlash regarding my Delta joke, with several readers sending me their itineraries of recent award trips.
