I can understand how some who spend the minimum to earn enrollment bonuses, only to then cancel the card, would not find this promotion to their liking, but this promotion isn't for everyone. CapOne is clearly targeting people who have a primary mileage earning card. They won't make much money giving away $1,000 in miles for a casual user or card flipper.
I think you're right. I think they lost money last year. They are targeting people who are loyal to one card.
