Hey Randy, I used to be a strong advocate of MyPoints, eRewards, etc. and used to frequent the SPAM forum alot. However, over the past few months my visits have declined. I've noticed that the the programs have become a hassle and not as good of a value as I used to think, and more importantly the content in SPAM has shifted its purpose.

Sure there are still a number of MyPoints and eReward threads there, but it seems like it is becoming over run with threads about FREE things, and SALES, and DISCOUNTS at retail stores. I was wondering if you were aware of this shift in focus of SPAM and if you were OK with it?

I know we've all benefitted from the free threads out there (i.e. condoms, personal lubricants, etc.), but IMO the forum has veered away from its M.O. of supporting the main focus of FlyerTalk... points & miles!

Thoughts?
