You can tell people don't even bother reading a couple pages back with the repeat questions. And those are the people who are asking, multiply by your lurker factor.

How "fair" is it to the community to explicitly provide instructions likely resulting in quantity spikes which directionally can not help the aggregate community cause?

Is it too much to ask to set the filter at "read the thread"? I think it is fair to expect someone to invest the slightest amount of time to figure it out. They'll be better off for it. And it will keep rift raft out. Its not like the information isn't available, it is. Of course this won't stop the CC pimps from pushing new "solutions" to help you make that spend requirement.

It is not going to be difficult for CVS to add one more SKU to the banned list, they just went through the exercise and unless I'm missing something, the product is question is effectively the same as the banned ones in regards to liability/ cc fee/ supplier / etc, except a dollar in price. So how about we just let this lay and stop talking about it? Yes there are other alternatives, but continuing to explicitly lead the flock around isn't helping open up new ones faster than old ones are getting closed. Eventually the MS stool runs out of time/cost effective legs to stand on.
