Does it bother anyone else that this "system" is being advertised right here on FT?
I appreciate the need to sell advertising in order to begin to cover the costs of running this amazing and valuable site, and I like seeing the creative use of relevant advertising to our specific demographics. That said, it makes me a bit uncomfortable to see information that was freely posted by this community repackaged and then marketed back to
us. I'd hate to see an FTer spend nearly $100, when a simple link to the "Earn miles by buying gift cards?" thread might have more information (although the "system" does offer an ING referral
).
The author gives a slight acknowledgement to the contributions of FTers:
This entire bag of tricks above was compiled by the efforts of
many great “air miles” fanatics online.
However, whether or not any of the text was lifted word-for-word from this site, I think more specific attribution is warranted, rather than simply referring to us as "fanatics." (Not that I'd necessarily disagree with that epithet...)
