If they are taking the time to MS, then apparently the returns/point system has some value to them. How much sense would it be to knowingly risk that because you can't recycle sign-up bonuses? Sounds to me like lines disgruntled people say, "Chase, this is going to kill your business!" They will continue to crack down on abusers.
I have never done any MS because we don't need to and like that my points/miles are really free, we have about $60K in legit CC spend per year that I'm able to turn into millions of points/miles a year. If this game ended today we would be all set for close to a decade.

How are you earning all these points without churning or MSing ? I'm assuming "Big returns " means at lest 750K points/mile/UR a year ?
5/24 is easily beat with a husband and wife team when one goes card free for about 2 years, throw in my 3rd player ( my dad who does not travel but we use his points ) and 5/24 has basically no effect on us. In fact I stopped my wife at 4/24 ( with 2 Chase bus cards) as we have so many miles/points in stock there is absolutely no reason to push Chase..........she moved over to AA mailers
