That link has been doing the rounds in the UK for months. I kept it off my blog and we kept it off FT as well, because it would have been killed otherwise.

The promo was due to finish on May 31st. None of the bloggers have bothered to mention this, and all ran it after May 31st.

It is only for members of the Institute of Directors, an austere business body with a fat membership fee, in the UK. If you did this after May 31st and/or with a non-UK mailing address then I can’t see it sticking.

Just posted a piece of my mind there:-)

Got the Southwest Business card today and closed my Sapphire Visa. So now I have these Chase cards: Freedom, Fairmont, Ink Plus (keepers) and Southwest Business. Rolling, rolling, rolling…

Still no definite answer to the PC Visa churning. It’s been four years plus for me. I think I will wait for 5. Wife has it and will keep it for the night for $49.

In reply to Amol (@PointsToPointB). Yes, I should have made it clear. Because, you know, you just never know with controversial MMS;-)

The current FT thread about censoring/comps/Uber is pointless insofar as the subject under discussion has made it loud and clear that he’s not going to change and that he doesn’t respect his own work or his readers enough to work hard and be transparent. It’s like watching a political discussion on Facebook in which no one’s going to change their mind.

I’m watching to see whether the Marriott 70k link is dead; FT reports it might be.

FTG is now claiming his website censored him. Oh the mental gymnastics (speaking of escaping to the gym). 🙂
