What about bloggers announcing a CC promo is dead when it isn't dead, just their affiliate links? For example, DP claims the 70K offer "ended at about 3AM ET this morning." FTG shows "[Expired] Get It While It’s Hot: Last Chance for 70,000 Points From Chase Ink Plus Ends 10/19". To their credit, WFTW, DWL and TPG have posted that the public 70K offer is still alive.

EDIT: Perhaps sbm12 was referring to this post:
