Sorry, but I think you need a reality check after your 1,000 word posts.

You've turned a thread that is supposed to be for bringing up ideas on how to get spending up after the end of the direct ship program into your own personal chat room. Not only that but you go on long worded rants that most people could care less about and do not find helpful.

Generally, I feel there is a reason people like you have so much trouble with the miles/points game. It seems you under the impressions that businesses should "value" you as a customer. When in reality... you are costing them money. Which is why people like you get financial reviews, closed accounts, cut off, etc...

You aren't as valuable to a company as someone like MrPickles. He seem like someone who is valuable to a company, which is why they let him get away with things like bringing in a boatload of coins. Even after they pay their employees to deal with his shenanigans... there must be something in it for them, otherwise they wouldn't put up with it.

In your case, you call customer service lines so much and annoy people they cut you off. You are no value to them. Not only that you raise red flags, and probably come off as a risk. It doesn't seem like you ever learn from your past mistakes and place the blame anywhere but on yourself.

I hope people can learn from your actions. It doesn't matter if it is gift cards, online payment services, etc.... These methods work fine as long as you use them in moderation. If you test the limits, the only person you have to blame for getting shut down is yourself.
