Seems like you then have to go with a TYP board and a Capital One board.

Is it really worth it? Seems like the bigger issue is that Milesbuzz has devolved into a rather boring forum about credit card bonuses. Long ago, Milesbuzz was where actual FFP promotions (some related to flying even!) where discussed.

Since this seems to be a done deal, allow me to piggyback the sidetrack comment:

FFP buzz and/or promotions don't dominate MilesBuzz! Forum no more. Other than cc bonuses threads, those help-me-use-my-miles or help-me-get-to-destinationX have taken over the forum for quite some time. Whether that's a good direction for MilesBuzz probably or should be another thread some other time.

The new forum can be found here. It has been populated by the credit card mods with about 300 existing threads. Note the description:

Discussion of Chase cards that earn Ultimate Rewards points include Freedom, Sapphire & Sapphire Preferred, Ink Bold, Ink Classic & Ink Plus and JP Morgan Palladium & Select. Please discuss co-branded airline or hotel cards in the sponsoring program's forum.

We have tweaked the name of the parent forum in an attempt to clarify what is discussed within. It is now called Credit, Debit and Prepaid Card Programs.

We will move Manufactured Spending into this parent forum as it is a better fit than MilesBuzz!

mia and philemer are the mods for the Chase Ultimate Rewards forum.

impressive work by those identifying threads to move

if the numbers involved were never discussed publicly or privately, doing so may have made decision faster/earlier/etc

We aren't finished. It takes awhile for Flyertalk's index to digest the moves, and there comes a point where searches return primarily threads which have already been moved. I hope we can pickup most of the stragglers next week.
