I don’t understand, but I’ll leave it at that.
Allow me to elaborate with examples. Many years ago there was a method of manufactured spending referred to as "the mint." Churners would purchase $1 presidential coins with their credit card, get free shipping and then deposit he coins in their banks and pay their credit cards. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. As this method gained popularity due to being shared publicly it eventually was shut down. Other examples would be banks changing things due to being shared publicly and increasing in popularity like Chase adding the 5/24 rule, Amex having lifetime language, Citi adding 24 month and 48 month language, Chase adding 48 month language, Barclay adding an unwritten 6 card/inquiry rule, BoA adding 24 month restrictions, Serve and Bluebird shutdowns, the death of Target Red Bird, the death of
Amazon payments and I could go on but I am assuming I am making the point clear for all. When beneficial loopholes, strategies and methods are shared too often and publicly they will eventually be shut down and then this is why we can't have nice things. I would hope that if I missed a consensus of keeping something on the down low and just sharing in Dischruners someone would make me aware so I can edit my post. I'd rather not become one of the last straws that breaks my own camel's back. I would not view the advice to edit as being anything other than helpful to myself and this community.
It's no different than using support links from this community. We help each other out, give advice and give back in whatever way we can so we can continue the success of this hobby for everyone here. For example, I may not chime in on certain credit card advice like I used to a couple of years ago, but I always chime in on international flights and partner awards when I see a question or get tagged. That is one of my contributions to the community. If PlanePrincess doesn't have a support link for something I am going to go for, I always check the community support links and vice versa. If I am offering advice to someone outside this community and I don't have a support link for what I think they should do, I will send that person a support link from the community. Sharing advanced strategies publicly hurts this community and everyone in the hobby because it will contribute to a shut down all the more quickly. Much like sharing and learning from in this community and then going and using a support link from TPG, OMAAT, VFTW or any other sources other than this community is a slap in the face to everyone who takes the time to share and help others reach their travel goals. I hope this helps explain the importance of why certain posts may need to be redacted and why using support links from one another are good things.
