I don't know what I would do if I was blogger but can a case be made that a blogger should mention in branch option in its main post as well to give its readers a choice which way they would like to apply.  Although the difference may be small to most some people may prefer the AF waived than the grocery credit for different reasons etc...

I totally hear the side of helping the blogger especially in a case like Dan and JJ who do so much for us thank you again!

The other side though is that the reader maybe should have final say after all options are laid out on the table by the bloggers as at the end of the day Panassah min Hashamayim so I dont think the blogger can go wrong here.  It only reinforces his faith and being completely up front?  But maybe I am biased as well coming from the reader's perspective but not sure just laying it out.

Spoken like people who aren't aware of the contracts, requirements, and compliance in place, never mind the need for the business to pay the bills and survive.

Are you contractually or otherwise prohibited from mentioning in branch option? Otherwise you are right I have no idea what you have to navigate

as to your second point again I am not sure what I would do in your situation and I may also have done as you did; however I am not saying you should always take this route of laying out all options when their is profit to be made.  I am saying in these situations where the offers differ should you lay it all out as again bills and survival we all or most of us here believe come from Hashem.  I just don't see how you can go wrong here by laying out all the options in these specific situations.  I cant imagine globally you would be affected if parnassah is min hashayaim by going the extra mile.  You would stand only to gain from your readers and in shamayim.

Very impressed that you are willing to discuss these things, even though people are attacking and unaware of what goes on behind the scenes.

I am saying in these situations where the offers differ should you lay it all out as again bills and survival we all or most of us here believe come from Hashem.  I just don't see how you can go wrong here by laying out all the options in these specific situations.  I cant imagine globally you would be affected if parnassah is min hashayaim by going the extra mile.  You would stand only to gain from your readers and in shamayim.

And another thread turned a religious discussion

You know this applies to you too? If Hashem wanted you to get the points/money He'd find a way. Don't project your bitachon on someone else.

Considering that the contract terms are under NDA, I have nothing else to add to what I already said. As always, we our grateful for our readers support.

If you notice our comments we have been very respectful and far from "attacking" but like they say  just calling it as I see it.  Maybe be totally wrong but maybe not

I was considering putting attacking in quotes

Of course this applies to all of us.  Not following you point.  We are talking about a specific issue and what's appropriate.  Like I stated over and over I am not sure what I would do then again if I see something I can call it out.  Criticism can be constructive and does not need to be personal.

Wasn't a personal attack - was using the proverbial "you".

My point is that you can't bring "parnassah min hashamayim" to a debate where both sides have skin in the game. Additionally, one side's level of bitachon may be different than the others, thus it's a completely useless argument.

It can spur someone to ask an objective third party nothing wrong with that. 
I agree people with skin in the game should not decide issues but to raise it and seek a more objective opinion and/or spur someone to think about it more....

Depends how you value your time I guess. Need to go into the branch and spend X amount of time doing that, all to save $45.
Deprives a blogger of your choice from a lot more income than that, though I get that's not a primary factor. Clearly I'm biased here, but JJ and I and our families certainly appreciate those who use our links
