I just called today and got 50K on one card. Then for my wife's card, they at first only gave me 25, but then I called back and got another 50K. Total for the day is 125K

Is it possible the first 25K were the pending points from the original bonus and they posted it to beavailable for withdrawal , not that you got a 75k bonus

got it no it is not me and u should not listen to anyone who pms u like that they r abusing this site to try and profit for themselves. all the information u needed was right here in this thread u should report that person to the moderators

This person was PMing before the bonus offer became public on this forum. The funny thing is I was able to get it for most people that I tried helping , but for myself I wasn't. I guess thats the punishment for accepting his offer. BTW i did Pm one of the more active members (not a moderator) and he didnt seem to feel it was wrong.

I got a PM to ask for 20K Aeroplan points if I successfully get 50K for my platinum credit card. I tried secure message three times, and they were rejected. So I gave up. The post is from a new id.

Why would you give anyone 20k? maybe the mods should be warning this guy...

I don't know if you're referring to me, but I didn't feel it was right either. I had no clue what he was offering and you never came back to me and reported.

If it's a targeted RSVP code that could be used once, I think it's fair to ask for 20k, otherwise, I feel all questions/answers/knowledge that is shared on DDF, should be shared in the forums (not via PM).

Perhaps it was a mod??

I banned the guy twice already.
Obviously people should report any questionable PMs to myself or another mod.

This whole board just went Jason Bourne on me...i cant even tell who is replying to who

Everyone will do what they want but potentially we will start seeing posts that look like this: "i have a great way to get miles for card X and Ill share with you privately if you kick back 20%". There's nothing wrong with it per se, but it defeats the purpose of a forum

+1, you said it even better than I did.

On a side note, this is also the reason people should ask their (non-private) questions publicly ans stay out of my PM box.

Is there a way to force n00bs to read something first time (or first few times) they post or send a PM?

Both his accounts are banned, so he won't be able to see the PM.
