I also disagree with the loophole thing and don't love it. I do agree it's a gray area posting things here because with great offers like this they wind up getting LOTS of attention and thus killed relatively quickly.. but isn't that the point/what we all try to do here... get great deals and discuss great offers?
I did think it was pretty amazing that within 13 minutes of my posting, my thread was locked and it hit SD, and was on mainstream blogs within 8 hours (I actually thought this would happen more quickly). Funny enough, the second iteration of my post (this thread) survived and flourished w/no problem.
I received my card last night activated immediately and confirmed via phone the 100k.
For those who were asking, call *wood 1-888-625-4990 and give them your Preferred Guest # and they'll activate it for you.
Well, I'm glad you posted the link. Got my approval today - after getting pending notice. Was debating to apply as I have 12 hard pulls in the last 90 days. Just got done with my 75K for $10K Biz Gold spend last week. So should get ~190K MR from 2 hard pulls and $450 (less the $425 credits - $200 x 2 plus $25 Small Biz Saturday). Net cost = $25. Biz Gold waived first year AF.
