I understand what the OP is saying. Unlike other "deal" threads such as the Coins and Citicard, the BA thread co-mingles the credit card deal (the 100,000 miles) with the BA redemption rules (BA fuel surcharge vs. one partner awards vs. Oneworld, etc...). Many posters just can't keep comments to the deal itself and ask redundant questions that would be easily found, if searched for, on the BA redemption thread.

For example, the Citicard thread doesn't go on and on with posts such as, "Can I redeem AA miles on BA, How many miles does it take to..., where can I go on AA miles ?"

Similarly, when, say, Priority Club, has a promo, the promo thread generally isn't inundated with newbies asking, "Where could I stay with PC points, etc..."

Bottom line - give OP a break and put the blame on the complexity of the BA 100,000 mile thread on the "inappropriate" posts contained therein.
