Hey here's a business credit card with a $5,000 spending requirement, but don't worry... you can go buy gift cards to meet that spending requirement!
Lets face it. Without manufactured spending I'm going to guess that they would stand to lose a fairly decent % of credit card referrals. Also, I would think that a majority of these trip reports could not be possible without these spending methods.
Well you have to figure that at least a few of the manufactured spending disciples are going to screw the pooch and end up carrying balances, missing payments, generally doing the things that make CC companies tons of dough.
Still, it is weird that the CC companies pay affiliate fees to bloggers who specialize in teaching people how to take full advantage (sometimes aka 'abusing') the CC companies' offerings.
