stupidzbu

I believe the 'buzz' is worn off when a deal is dead, not because it is still active for a 'long time'

people come here for great offers & churning. Newbies provide valuable insight

Let me give you specific examples:

AA 75k & current 50k

Churners & newbies discovered the death to 2BM, but also discovered that you can still get ~130k AA miles through the MC card.

This thread was once moved to the AA forum when the 75k offer died for discussion, then reinstated here because people got mad. Now the 50k thread moved to the CC forum where most people argue about taxes, 5x points, and cash cards.

Boa/Boh 35k Cards

The buzz was the 70k miles --> 140k HH points. After the HH devaluation, that buzz wore off, but you know what? Churning 70k HA miles is still buzz worthy


So, I argue against your interpretation of what should be on MB

If it is a GREAT offer AND active that deals with hotel or airline points, it should stay here.

The CC forum is for people looking at TYP, MR, UR etc

Hell, I spent 45 minutes reading on how this guy spent 160K in 6 weeks and was blacklisted from Citi... none of that interests me because I am in it for the miles & hotel points

EDIT: and can I please get an idea of why these active threads on the first 2 pages are BUZZ worthy vs the CC threads that got moved?

they are all either very low mileage accrual or 'help me' threads.. possibly the complete opposite of BUZZ
