There must be too much at stake with the MPG CC referrals to get vocal
No word on TPs as these same bloggers were the ones flogging them and telling people to buy a category 6 since they all said Marriott would be be generous and map it to the new 5. Well, that worked out well, didn’t it. They are not here to help their readers they are businesses trying to optimize their sites for more $$$. Nothing wrong with that, except it may sometimes lead to them trying not to offend the people who actually “pay” them: the credit card companies. I think this radio silence is a perfect example.
