Here is a real simple example. This is going back many years. Citi had a card that was 5x on all purchases for 6 months. This card was churnable every six months. Many figured out on their own there was a way to still get this card after the app was pulled. This went on for over two years that I know of. This knowledge was then use for other apps with great success. No one to my knowledge every leaked this while it was going on. So to those who say the deal would have died anyway have no idea what they are talking about.
What ended up killing it ?

In the past you could get these Stand Up 2 Cancer Master Card Gift Cards at CVS without having to pay the $4.95 activation fee, so I use to stop by in my local CVS and purchase 4 of these every day before going to work, my friendly cashier didn't have a problem letting me use a ***** for the purchase, starting today reports started coming in that the standard $4.95 fee is being applied to these GC purchases, as always we enjoyed it while it lasted.
From your post it seems you have been doing this for awhile already, care to share an actual timeline?

Doesn't make sense. He hasn't been on the forums so long.

See, that's one of the problems with this attitude. Everything is an inside joke and a secret code even when it's not. And yes, the subject of this thread is still outrageous.

You're right that sometimes secrecy here is over the top. But it's also true that people here (and maybe on other forums as well) consistently fail to think in the long term. There are deals and tricks that would last for years and years if people would only act in moderation, a term which includes not abusing deals, not bragging about them to all your extended family and friends, and using common sense. If all those conditions were met by all secrecy would be less important. Given that they're not met, a lack of secrecy is a automatic kill switch.

It is not this simple. Most deals have nine lives in one form or another. Take this deal. It was not the first time this has happened at CVS and IMHO it will not be the last. This thread will have more people looking for this glitch. This will cause it to die sooner next but the flipside is more will get in on it.

The key to these deals are networking. It use to real easy to do this but now it is getting harder and harder.

Here is a real simple example. This is going back many years. Citi had a card that was 5x on all purchases for 6 months. This card was churnable every six months. Many figured out on their own there was a way to still get this card after the app was pulled. This went on for over two years that I know of.

So to those who say the deal would have died anyway have no idea what they are talking about.

Those were lovely.

Wasn't there also a 75k after spending $750 zombie that was around for a while? Or is it this $1500 one I'm thinking about?

Wasn't there a link posted on FT about 12-18 months ago for a 60k offer or was that the Plus. Either way IIRC it lasted less than a few days. I guess not enough prayers for a miracle.  :)
