BowTiedBum FAQ - Will Be Updated Over Time
***Disclaimer: We Have Lots of Content Please Use the Search Bar Aggressively***
Welcome Anon! After creating the BowTiedBum community a few months ago, I realized it was time to make a “start here” guide so that new joiners can hit the ground running. You’ll notice a lot of my beliefs echo those of
as he was my mentor the last decade. No, we’ve never met in person, and I have no idea who he actually is IRL.Background: I’ve read
(formerly Wall Street Playboys) for a decade now. I’ve followed their advice, taken action, and now my life is on a completely different trajectory than it otherwise would have been. I’ve been credit card churning for 6 years now, and have traveled all over the world for free or pennies on the dollar. I’ve used rewards to pay the majority of my rent, and buy crypto I otherwise would not have bought.Why I’m Here? First, I created the BowTiedBum community with the belief that ANYONE can earn $10K+ their first year of credit card churning. I’ve followed the advice from
for years and have seen amazing results. I’ve had success with affiliate marketing and ecom as well. I believe that my community is the easiest way to get started with WiFi money. Will it make you rich? No. But I firmly believe that it will help get the ball rolling and eventually give you the confidence to start your own scalable internet biz. Equal opportunity, unequal results.Tone/Writing Style: Blunt and straight to the point. Harsh truths and no fluff. This Substack is for credit card churning / MS. I don’t talk about taxes, give financial/legal advice, or talk about other types of WiFi money. Communication style is straight to the point so you can have what you need to succeed in this game as efficiently as possible, and then focus on starting your own scalable biz.
The Master Plan: Before you start, take a few hours and read every single post and comments. If you’re a paid subscriber, take a few minutes to read the comments in the Slack group. These two resources both provide tremendous value and will be a big help along your journey.
1. Make $10K+ your first year via credit card churning and manufactured spending. 2. Create your own WiFi biz.

3. Use the knowledge learned here to optimize WiFi biz spending to earn extra cash. 4. Profit.
Some people will earn MUCH more than $10K. I have contacts that earn over $100K doing this, but it gets pretty time intensive at that point. Remember, the credit card rewards game is not the end goal of your WiFi money journey. It’s step one. The game doesn’t end here. It begins.
Manufactured Spending (MS): Manufactured spending is a method of generating lots of credit card spend and then getting that money back in your bank account as soon as possible. There are three big MS methods that have been discussed thus far in the paid Substack posts (search “MS method” 1, 2, 3, etc). There will be more introduced, but you can do some serious damage with these three alone. Learning MS will be crucial if you want to move the needle and earn serious rewards.
Slack Group: The Slack group has been a huge success so far, and has really helped paid subs get the ball rolling in this game. We’ll add channels as necessary and tweak what we need to, but I’m extremely pleased with how it’s been going since we launched it a month ago. Message is clear: if you are a paid sub, you need to be in the Slack group. DM me on Twitter for access.
Free Subs: Free content will include credit card info/offers, some travel redemption tips, and a basic overview of the landscape. If you have a good amount of personal or business spend each month, it’s certainly possible to hit $10K a year with the free content alone. If you want to learn manufactured spending techniques to make your journey quicker and easier, you can find that information in the paid posts and Slack group.
Paid Subs: Paid subscriptions are $20 per month and will cover much more info including in depth manufactured spending techniques. Paid subs will receive access to the Slack group at no additional cost. The Slack group is meant to be used in conjunction with the Substack to help everyone win.
The subscription pays for itself many times over after your first sign up bonus. Please DO NOT use this community with hopes to get out of debt if you are in a hole or unemployed. That’s not what it was designed for. As always, get a career first, then WiFi money comes second.
Closing Notes
I originally started this community thinking it would be a tiny side project for fun, and had no idea it would grow as fast as it did. I’m committed to continuing this project for as long as possible, as long as there is interest. If there are any major announcements, I’ll communicate on Substack, Twitter, and Slack.
You’ll see lots of resemblance with my ideas and thoughts and those of
. After all, my life is on a completely different course thanks to him.Good luck to all. After this post, you can expect regular style posts.
