How many times can blogs post the same thing?
A while ago some of those blogs were posting useful info, sometimes.
But recently all of them are like infomercials - credit cards, credit cards!!!
60000 points, yes, how many ways you can spend it, how many ways
can you say "60000", with a British accent or not, blah, blah.
So amazingly embarrassing IMO.
Just post a link on your blog, nothing else and say, people please click it,
I have nothing to say, but I'm a nice guy and want to fly 1st class for free...
And then I will review it and will complain how not perfect it was
(because I deserve the best as I fly 1st class!)...

The best is that some bloggers are past trying to hide the fact that they just push links and actually go out of their way to almost rub it in our faces.
But then again...

By my count, at least 80 written by 40 different bloggers. And I was mostly judging by post title so if they were more subtle than not I probably missed them. On a posts per day the deal was live basis this was much calmer than the frenzy 6 weeks ago over the 75k AmEx MR card, but much bigger overall given the extended duration of the promo. Also, I know I've missed a few, mostly from more recently today, but that's the way my reader parses things.
Here's the full list I have, sorted by frequency of the author then author then date.

And I think seeing my blog along with the others was definitely very odd to say the least. I think I was the only one making fun of them:-)
