Glad they reopened this, because I wasn't able to defend myself when it was locked.
FWIW the offer that the OP is referencing is not one of my referral links. In fact, a reader emailed me the FT thread with the best offer and that's what I had posted.
I msged leftpinky last week to let him know this, but I guess accuracy isn't important so the OP has not been edited.
In any case, I know most of the other bloggers and we always strive to promote the best offers. We all pretty much have the same affiliate company and you wouldn't believe the amount of crap offers they ask us to promote. But for me, my integrity is tops and will do my best to make sure my readers are provided with quality information.
In the future, if anyone has proof of a public offer (note I do not promote most targeted offers if theres a good chance my reader won't qualify), please email me at tpg at thepointsguy.com and I'll update my post/page.
Safe travels!
