That was a terrible post, although at least he disclosed they're paying him for it.
Sorry, but a disclosure like that doesn't exempt you from a terrible post.
Chase put heavy pressure on me to make a post on the Disney card but I stood my ground. I'm not going to post something I don't believe in. The cards I do make a post on are cards that I very likely have myself.
In fact what I think is one thing that differentiates me from the other bloggers is that I play the churning game at a much higher level than they do and can report my experience rather than hearsay and regurgitated incorrect info.
As an aside, now that most the bloggers caveat their cc links that they'll earn a referral fee, have you considered doing the same? If not, why?
FTG and I have been in the cc business years before everyone else came along. Both of us have compensation disclosures on the sides of our sites and I don't think it's a secret that I earn my living from ad and referrals on the site.
Frankly I find the disclosure in every other post to be obnoxious. I mean does anyone reading the blogs not know this information already that Gary and the gang need to post it every single day
I mean does that disclosure in every other post really matter to you that much?
It's not unusual for cards to change bonus terms.
Sure, offers can change. But posts about nothing with no basis are just pointless IMHO.
