OK, here is another recent one. Month of Miles. Do I need to say more. What a FUBAR that was! Within days of the start of the promo, the T&C's drastically changed. From unlimited to 25K. The demise of miles for gift cards can be directly attributed to this one. One day Gift Cards counted, the next they did not. The blogs described in exacting detail how to double, triple and in some cases quadruple dip for miles. People needed to fight for the miles they had purchased.

Now was this promo well vetted? Obviously not. But, blogging about how to get tens of thousands of miles and then telling California residents how to cash out the gift cards
