Because there are many programs each with its own forum, it's impractical to check all the forums on a daily basis (at least I don't know an efficient way). And daily is necessary to catch the limited-time lucrative deals (some of the best). Right now I get the latest scoop from 2 blogs because it's easier than checking countless forums. Some deals are probably posted first on FT, but the fact they are spread across many forums means it won't be the place I first find out about them.

Just my 2c.

p.s. I know there is a "special credit card offers master thread", but it seems to post deals not as quickly as the blogs.
This was, as I recall, one of nsx's ideas for the revamped MilesBuzz (to be renamed "Hot Deals" or something like that) forum, but his vision never got passed during the last TalkBoard session.

Something for the new TalkBoard to consider.
