Why are all the GC/Walmart, etc threads in Buzz?
 
These are not discussions about the latest Frequent Flyer Program buzz, they are about using a miles earning card to purchase things, at best I think they belong in SPAM, as their only connectin to miles is you can earn miles by buying them. To me it's the same as if I post a thread about cat food, saying I can get 1 mile for every four cans of cat food I purchase (assuming they are 4 for a dollar)

Buying a Gift Card from Walmart has no connection what so ever to Frequent Flyer Programs.

Because the only purpose of buying the giftcards (etc.) is to earn miles. There is no other purpose to purchasing them. And, you are essentially "buying" miles for very low prices (less than a penny per mile). These are examples of everyone trying to be the next "pudding guy". Buzz is the logical place for them because they are all about getting miles on the cheap.

I tend to agree, but one thing for sure, the MilesBuzz! forum is not for discussing what belongs in MilesBuzz! :)

Suggestions - or Only Randy Peterson works best for this.
