Instead of three posts on how Blog X, Y, and Z reported Credit Card #1, wouldn't the most appropriate action be to discuss Credit Card #1, in the existing FT forum. That way, the actually merits of the deal can be discussed, instead of how Bloggers X, Y, or Z presented it.
Basically it comes down to - What's more important - The discussion of the actual deals, or discussion on how they are presented?
Do you know offhand which blogs have expert knowledge on star alliance issues vs. oneworld issues? Of those with a focus on star alliance, do you know how historically accurate and insightful a particular blog has been on star alliance issues? And thus which should be trusted and followed for that sort of information?
Do you know which blogs make money for steering you after Chase cards? Would that affect how you read their blog posts about Chase cards?
Do you know which blogs accept free travel from travel providers and which do not? Would that affect how much stock you put in their trip reports or reporting regarding the points or miles program of the travel providers who provide them with the free travel?
There is a whole world to talk about beyond the description of the deals on the blogs, just as there is a whole world of mileage plus to talk about beyond the mileage plus terms and conditions.
