This afternoon View from the Wing posted about getting "2500 Free Citi Thank You Points".

http://www.boardingarea.com/blogs/vi...nk-you-points/


Before discussing how to get the points, the first half of the blog post waxed poetic about the benefits of the Citi Thank You Premier Card, followed by referral links. I'm not sure how a sales pitch for that Citi card is relevant to getting "2500 Free Citi Thank You Points". Anyone who doesn't already have a Thank You card is unlikely to get one in time for the free points. Also, the offer had already been posted on numerous deal sites, and was dead by the time Gary posted it.

I commented something to the effect, "Looks like it's dead, but you can still apply for the card, lol".

Either I imagined posting that or Gary deleted my comment. Regardless, I think it's pretty sad to see so much content being driven by credit card referrals. It seems any chance there is to pimp a credit card, it gets pimped by some bloggers.
