1: Calling a company to alert them about a deal/mistake/workaround.
2: Believing what an underpaid CSR tells you about pretty much anything.
3: Posting without searching to see if your question has already been discussed.

So what else should be on this list?

People/websites that repost a unique deal with out any referance to dansdeals?

Posting something that was a DD exclusive on FW etc., which causes the company to stop doing the deal bec. too many people are taking advantage. (Sapphire matching 100k comes to mind).

4. Having ethical conversations outside of the ethics thread.
5. Asking if the Annual fee and/or $200 airline spend count towards spend requirement on Amex Platinum.
6. Posting your own referral links and/or links to competing sites.
7. Posting the same questions 5 times (worded differently each time) and/or continuing to ask the same question after it was answered.
8. Posting that you're too lazy to read through a long thread, so you (just make the thread longer by) ask a question that's already answered many times in the thread.
9. Spending regularly on a debit card.
10. Posting a DD/DDF secret/trick/hack elsewhere and taking credit for it.

This would be a BIG mistake! Sometimes debit cards are an excellent choice. What do you think Dan?

10. Posting in a language that all DDF members can’t understand.

Mileage/reward-earning debit cards are (for the most part?) dead, please CMIIW.

Perk (2% cash back with 5% rotating categories) is still alive.
But none of the protections of a cc though.

No, we do not run a credit check. We do run a ChexSystems report that looks at your past banking history though.
