2023 BowTiedBum Awards
***Free Trial Note***
If you were lucky enough to snag one of the limited free trial slots. Please connect with others in the Slack and ask questions. We’re all here to help you on your journey!
Intro
This is a long post, so you’ll probably have to open it up in a browser to read the whole thing.
It’s truly been an honor running this project, and I could not have done it without you. What started out as a joke Twitter account morphed into something much bigger.
I want to thank each and every one of you that trusted me to guide you through this game on your journey to $10K+ WiFi Money per year.
The community is a build-from-within success, and a testament to what a small yet mighty group can accomplish when they collaborate towards a shared goal.
Without further adieu, I wanted to recognize a few bums that went above and beyond this year.
Below are the recipients for the first annual BowTiedBum Awards!
BowTiedBum Awards
Nice Guy/ Hype Man
With the state of the world today and all it’s chaos…It’s rare that we come across someone that lights up the room with positivity and encouragement.
User: djjazzyjeff constantly brings good vibes to the BowTiedBum community…
He welcomes each new user with enthusiasm and encourages them to dive headfirst into this game. His positive can-do attitude is infectious, and he’s been a great addition to the community.
Bonus Note: He bought a yearly membership and delayed starting for a few months. Once he got his feet wet, it was off to the races!
Good luck ser, and thanks for your contribution to our community!
Most Helpful Bum
SkySoldier is one of those guys who should honestly be on the BowTiedBum payroll.
When I first started this community, I was slightly worried that running the Slack Group day in and day out would be too overwhelming…Especially with a family, demanding W-2, and other WiFi businesses.
SkySoldier quickly digested all the information in the posts and responded to others’ questions.
He’s a big reason why we’ve been able to grow the community to what is today.
Ser, thank you for your service (both Bum and Military)!
International Bum of the Year
I’ve never seen someone so determined to get involved in this game as Alejandro. I’m honestly surprised he didn’t move to the US just for this game.
Alejandro’s been an integral part of the community as an international member.
Since I’m US based, I wasn’t able to test the process of playing this game abroad, and Alejandro’s been able to navigate the ins and outs of this game overseas.
If you’re an international bum, I highly recommend browsing the #internationalbums channel on Slack and connecting with Alejandro.
It’ll be exciting to see what he accomplishes in 2024. Best of luck ser!
Highest Earning Bum
Simply put, caMm is the hardest working Bum in the entire community. I’ve never seen anything like it.
He is absolutely ruthless and does not take “no” for an answer.
He’s come up with creative strategies to get approved for cards…One including taking the Chase rep (who was in charge of reviewing his app in branch) on a date for rooftop drinks!
He got off to a hot start earning $10K in 5 months.
By getting additional players involved, he was able to clear $30K in 2023 using bum tactics.
It’ll be interesting to see what he does in 2024 to say the least!
Hottest Start
CheeseMan was a late addition to the BowTiedBum community, having joined just before Q4.
The numbers speak for themselves.
He came out of the gate swinging, and quickly earned $3,300 in 40 days.
He hustled his way to $11,800+ by the end of Q4, having accomplished that feat in barely over 3 months.
He’s an incredibly smart dude and we’re lucky to have him. It’ll be interesting to see where he takes things in 2024 and how his Amazon Arbitrage busines goes.
Best of luck ser!
Best Amazon FBA Earnings
Bdp789 started this past September and immediately went full throttle.
In just a few months, he was able to earn 400K Chase Points (worth $6K towards travel with CSR) and start a successful Amazon FBA biz by following the Amazon Arbitrage Guide.
$41K Revenue in his first 3 months is nothing to sniff at…And if his goal is to eventually quit his W-2, I couldn’t be a bigger supporter.
Best Redemption
The man, the myth, and the legend.
caMm had himself quite the year. He flew business class to Dubai and stayed at a high end Marriot property there.
He globetrotted to Asia and was able to bring his P2 thanks to all the points he earned.
Well done ser!
Honorable Mentions
While these three bums didn’t win a particular category, I had to give them an award for their excellence this year. They were dedicated bums that were a great help to the community.
Well done!
Prizes
For the ten bums who won an award…I’d like to present you with a free month of your membership.
Since Substack functionality is limited and it’s hard to comp a month of membership…
I’d like to send each of you a $20 Fluz Gift Card to any Fluz store of your choice (Amazon, Chiptole, Starbucks, etc) to say thank you for your efforts.
Please DM me on Slack and we can work this out.
Conclusion
Thanks again to everyone who made this year possible, and congrats on your continued success.
Special congrats to all the bums who won an award!
Apologies if I missed anyone.
Keep up the good work, and let’s make 2024 an even better year!
