Agree, but do you really want to spend tons of your free time just to follow
an obscure chain of gift cards just to earn a few thousand miles?
When it was BB - Vanilla reloads it was easy and the payoff was big
for little time spent. When you could get tons of 100,000 mile bonuses
one after another (Citi Exec) - it made sense. Now it's all gone
and trying to extract some small leftovers out of this simply doesn't make sense.
