I imagine at some point Amex will get level III at the major chains and that will be the end but for now may as well milk it. Churning sign up bonuses used to reliably get you that level of payout and more each month between you and spouse cards but it certainly has become more difficult to get to that monthly level recently…

Chase used to be very nice indeed. They would even be so kind as to cash advance some of the prepaid cards for you in branch. Citi treated you pretty well in those days too…,

Well that would be dependent on the level of the user base. If mostly newbies it will end up looking like FT. If more advanced users some really helpful info could be shared, although at some point things would rise to the level of being too sensitive to post and that’s where PMs would come in handy. Still could be less dumbed down than FT, depending on how it evolves.

An MS forum would be useful just not in the exclusive HH format suggested. General info that is organized and searchable would be helpful-, for example, which cards are subject to chase 5/24, Amex FR flags and clawback dp’s, recon #'s, helpful data points for non fragile plays etc.

Just about all the heavy hitters have migrated to private forums which is why you haven’t seen a dedicated MS thread on FW. There’s actually a good reason why this has taken place. Back in the day companies were slow to address MS techniques as they spread on the forums. MS methods that had little or no barrier to entry and were almost effortless survived for months and sometimes years. Fast forward to 2017 when companies are a lot more savvy and quicker to respond and a reliable MS technique can be killed in a few days once it is widely discussed online in a open forum…
