BTW, I'm well aware that Gary writes lots of great blog posts about things other than credit cards, so please don't take my post above as an attack against Gary, likewise please don't think that I don't appreciate any of his posts, because that is far from the case. And that is probably true for all the other bloggers listed above. They all write some good blog posts, but they are all also guilty of ruining deals prematurely by overexposing them. I am trying to keep an updated list of the worst offenders in this thread.
