TalkBoard Topics - New Credit Card Sign-Up Offers- Forum

There should be a forum dedicated solely to current credit card sign-up offers, both targeted and un-targeted.

Every time i am looking for a new card i have to search through all of the Individual Airline forums, the Milesbuzz forum, the Other Credit Card Partners forum, b/c people tend to post them in different places. This may also reduce the redundant posts of credit card offers in multiple forums, when several people find the same offer, and they tend to post in different forums.

It would be much more efficient to have a forum dedicated only to new credit card offers. Easy to find, and would save us "Bonus sign-up chasers" some time.

Edit: Please move to the Talkboard Topics forum.

Great idea. There are so many threads discussing the same offers, but they are in different forums. So people either miss important info or repeat the same things over and over.

I guess the questions that come up in my mind would be:

1) Wouldn't the associated program forum a good place to find such offers?

2) Would MilesBuzz suffice as the cross-post forum (yes, I know crossposting is bad, but as noted, it does happen with these types of offers)?

3) If cross-posting is the problem, would this be more of a moderation issue vs. a TB issue? Maybe it should be recommend to the mods through Randy that credit card offers either all be kept in their respective forum or moved to MilesBuzz instead?

4) How many people out there are applying to various cards just for the miles vs. applying for cards for programs they participate in?

For #4, the reason why I think that's relevant is because for huge offers (like the 100k BA offer), those will undoubtedly be cross-posted because they are such big offers. That's a big enough offer to make someone that's not traditionally a BA flyer or member get the credit card. But is a standard 20k-25k type offer a big enough offer for someone to join a program they never have before? If not, then is a forum warranted? If so, then would it make sense to have a forum or would it make sense to have something like an "Ultimate Credit Card" thread in MilesBuzz?
