I'm guessing you weren't around during the Citi 100k signup bonus fiasco, were you? supposed to be a 1 time thing, yet people were were getting it numerous times. The problem was it had a $10k minimum to get the miles. Scammers decided it would just be easier to buy a $10k refundable ticket, get the miles, cancel the ticket, close the account.

Where there is a will, there is someone trying to come up with a way around the rules.
