When I receive cards in the post about promotions, these are on cards specifically addressed to me and do not imply that these are a free-for-all and I am sure that they do not state "please share with your closest 7 milliard friends"
Why is it hard for you to believe? Surely in 12 yr on this forum you noticed tendency to max out promos and benefits and all sorts of unintended price mistakes...

I can see clear violation of t&c when people for example trade miles/upgrades or resell award nights or open multiple accounts however I strongly disagree that use of promotional codes which are completely anonymous and do not come with any sort of "non transferrable" language should trigger account suspension.
