editing wiki now.
Done with edit. Added column for links.  As of now I added link for MB Plat. Not sure if forums allow non dansdeals.com links. If not then it should be removed.
If they are allowed, I have put in dansdeals links wherever possible.
For PRG, Delta, and blue cash/preferred i put up the Creditcards.com links as those are better than the default links on http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=8028.0, and there is a dansdeals.com link for them anyway.

Thanks. You're learning quick how to edit. I like the idea but didn't do it yet because I wanted the wiki editor to be too cluttered before its mostly filled out. Anyways, now is a good time time to start adding links, though I may suggest linking up the name of the card itself to the sign up pages. And by the "link" category we can add the threads on ddf that discuss the card.

Going to start on the links now.

Yearly spending bonus (e.g. PRG = $30K = 15k MR)
That and retention bonuses (6K SWA points, cat 1-4 Hyatt night, 2 club passes on United, etc)
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Done for now.  Still a ways to go with the links and retention bonuses, but I'm burned out and my spreadsheet finally finished calculation so I gotta get back to work.

Dan - by retention I assume you mean built in yearly bonuses and not PUTPAC for retention?

Changed Amex PRG to 50k, 1k in 3, that's the offer on http://www.dansdeals.com/go/creditcards/
Sorry Dan, I didn't realize it was a profitable link.

Lot of good infor/space for good info on the wiki but unless you reduce the zoom to like 50-60% it is starting to look messy...

I'm a little lazy right now... :P
I'm more into filling in the chart first, and then putting the links, though I don't mind if you put the links yet. Filling the chart will make it worthy of being stickied, adding links is the polish on top :)
You may notice in the first edits of the wiki I had links up there until I took 'em out, so I'll take credit for adding some links ;D

No problem. I'll throw in the links when I get a chance.  Filling in the chart is a pain - involves waymore digging  :)

I realized that I enjoy working on the formatting the most, so I just added the rest now. All the tables are set, I'm just a little unsure of what the last category should be. I want it to be for for links to ddf discussions and the main feature asides for signup bonuses.

Good idea?
