The Credit Card Program is simply one of MANY sub-forums here on FT. If the Airline Sub-Forum can have 55 different programs ranging from the very popular UA (2.8 mil posts) to the least popular AirBerlin (2,044 posts), then why can't the Credit Card Sub Forum be similar? I am sure Chase UR would gain more than 2,044 posts.

Yes it goes back to the argument that Airline sub-forums are more important than credit card sub-forums because FT is a frequent flyer based forum. However, that argument loses credibility because:

1. You have a Car Rental Program Sub-Forum with 7 programs, including the non popular Thrifty (2,000+ posts).
2. A Hotel Sub-Forum with 12 programs, once again ranging from popular to un-popular programs.
and 3. Your Other loyalty program sub-forum has more programs (3) than the credit card sub-forum (just MR and Diners).

As a new FT member, I expected TONS of programs listed under the Credit-card sub-forum and was very surprised to see a consolidated "other credit card programs" forum.

It seems as though FT is trying to single out MR and Diners due to its "exclusiveness". Who cares if MR has a billion posts and UR has 3,000. Your other sub-forums prove that being a popular program is not a prerequisite to owning its own forum.

If you are to keep the Credit Card program sub-forum as is, then I suggest you change the Car Rental programs to just Hertz, Avis, and National because clearly, the other 4 rental programs deserve only an "other car rental programs" forum. Same goes for all other similar sub-forums.
