You all can think whatever you wish. This concept has been covered in numerous posts on slickdeals, fat wallet, blogs, etc. It's really nothing new.

I've had 14 PMs regarding this from brand new members (0-50 posts/within a year of sign up) and I haven't given away the details. I'm not trying to sabotage this concept, nor this specific CU. I am simply talking about a subject which has been common knowledge for quite some time. Don't act as if it's the sixth element or something.

The same reason that beans are hard to find, the mint is dead and CVS doesn't do variable GCs.
