Popot53, FT is a community that works best when information is shared with mutual respect. Why do you think this thread should be locked? This is not a deposition where you ask a question and the only acceptable response is a direct answer to your question; it's more like a conversation.
You claim you found some lucrative deals by reading the threads with tips other people posted. Now, some people are asking you which ones you found most helpful, yet you refuse to share. By your own assertion, you learned about the deals from reading the threads, so the information is already in the public realm. You might do well to actually contribute as a member of the FT community to help others, unless your motivation for starting this thread was just to brag about how many more miles/points you're getting than other people. He's either a) he's full of it and can't substantiate it or b) he is trying to brag and find others who have gained more to then ask them how they're doing it even though he won't share his own.(If he says no, then why even bother posting a thread like this if you're not going to ask how people earning more than you are doing it.) Either way people like him are useless members of the community here and should stick to lurking and milking everyone else's deals and refrain from posting. A quick review of his post history will show that he has no problem taking others provided deals/info and asking a ton of questions and help. |
I also highly doubt the numbers he is stating given everything he has said. The thread link he posted are all the well known tricks and if these are truly "free" spending, he couldn't have just gotten it from that thread alone.
This turned from a brag to a defensive topic. EDIT: I just spent 5-10 minutes browsing all his other posts. There's a couple things: 1. He's fairly young and just started to get a handle on the FF programs (thus, a lot of questions on bonuses for applying to CCs for the first time). 2. He's probably getting the majority of his free spend from the Presidential Coins. He has asked a lot of questions regarding how much trouble he could get and trying to change his billing addresses around to skirt the limit they placed on ordering. Basically, nothing new to learn here. |
Personally I haven't used the coins, gift cards, or account funding because I'm new and truthfully scared. (For good reason: I jumped the gun on Citi with a 3rd app a couple months ago).
But I realize to take advantage of even a few of the best CC offers spend is important. (The SW gift cards for 5K in 3 months is even scaring me). So I plan to throughly read all the coin, account, and gift card posts and then do a few of each to test the water meekly. Hopefully Chase won't trash all my accounts for a couple coin purchases. Is Chase that much worse for disallowing coins etc than Citi and AmEx? Is AmEx pretty wide-open for these things like Citi seems to be? Is there one of the 3 that should be avoided for coins, accounts or gift cards? |
Hello Everyone,
Here is what I've been averaging (Not including CC bonuses and the use of my own money): May- 167k June- 495k July-948k August- 1447k The only problem is that I am ridiculously good looking, and have women throwing themselves at me every time I make a deposit of $1 coins at the banks. Also, I drive a 2015 Porsche and own 3 Boeing jets that are invisible. How do I compare to everyone else? |

Details Bad for Business
Agree - public details are often bad for business.:cool:

The fastest way to go from collecting 50K miles/mo to zero is to post the details here and watch the deal quickly die.

It isn't company's googling FT that kills deals, it an excessive number of people hitting on some deal, often with such a lack of finesse that they are practically begging the company to shut down the deal.
Who tends to have the least finesse? People who need to be spoon fed a deal. They are the ones that walk into a bank with 10,000 coins, demand that they be accepted and start spouting legalese to the bank manager about how they have to accept them for deposit or else.

Aloha, I'm not responding just to you, but I would like to try to more clearly state a point that someone else made on this thread. And please note that I stated earlier that I am sympathetic with being careful to not be too public as to ruin opportunities. But as someone else pointed out, popot said that he got all his methods from FT, which means that these methods are already publicly posted. Listing them helps FT'ers, it doesn't help a co Googling FT to find their loopholes.

I am laughing outloud at the previous posters comment and his 2015 Porsche.
To answer the question honestly, I tend to average about 5-8k a month in additional miles above and beyond bonuses and my own spend. Pretty pathetic in comparison, huh!? I do the mint every 10 days (one address, not getting greedy), and CD's on occasion. |
