I'm truly not understanding all these attacks on the bloggers. Seems like many believe that credit card companies are nothing more than a bunch of idiots who haven't yet realised that people have been gaming the system. The truth is they have been onto people signing up for bonuses and spending nothing additional for quite some time. You only have to look at how they have reduced the sign up bonuses and tied it to spend.
I think people need to get used to the new reality, it is unlikely there is going to be a continual free lunch when it comes to earning a million plus points a year just signing up for cards. The banks are hurting and they are clearly directing their efforts into identifying who games the system and how to eliminate those unprofitable customers.
