So often there is just so much that is NOT said in the P&M blogger space.

Yesterday, for example, VFTW did a new cashback card announcement/analysis/commercial.

In the comments someone pointed to a different blog that was calling out the VFTW post for not being totally forthcoming at the behest of Citi and instead just posting the talking points about the card that they had provided to him as an affiliate. Gary's response was "The claim is absurd, (1) why in the world would Citibank not want me to write about how redemption works? (2) I don’t generally make “much more than $1000 per month” from Citibank?

Why in the world? Don't generally? If he were talking about Avios, Gary himself call that "a non-denial denial."

Oh well, he was on MSNBC and Marketplace this week, so he must be the expert! ^
