I agree with you but at the same time wonder just how many of us there are. Certainly not over a million people doing this to the extreme. So you'd think we'd be a small blip on their radar. I'd also think that credit card companies would start capping bonus categories more like Chase has done with ink 5x and freedom 5x, amex with 6x on groceries, etc.
