Default You\'ve got to be kidding me...

I was looking for some goods on ebay and came across a banner ad that linked to the following page...

Link with an application for a WSOP credit card that earned points towards WSOP merchandise.

don't spam.

it looks like your link even has a referral code. you should at least remove that asap.

Somehow I don't think Cubs has suddenly started spamming the forum.

Here is a link to another site where you will see the same card linked with the identical URL.

Linky - first item on the page

Mods,

It is not my affiliate code associated with link i provided. Previous to posting i tried playing with the URL but the page would not link without the full URL. I guess the new MO around here is to assume everyone is up to no good rather then taking into account reputation and past contributions.

Someone who has been around as long as cubs and has contributed so much should be given the benefit of the doubt guys.

I don't think Jim used poor judgement here. I can understand why he deleted the link even though we all know Cubswin as a guy of integrity who is not trying to personally profit. When I see a url that looks like that I also smell a link where someone profits (not Cubs). It does LOOK like one!

Anyway, no harm no foul. Cubs is a reasonable guy and I'm sure he understands.

I completely understand how the link looked like it could be affiliate in nature. That being said, I dont think using the logic that if someone profits from a link or url it should be made off limits to post. By this standard, posting any URL would be off limits.

Anyways, to bring things back on topic... there are much better rewards cards out there if people are looking for a credit card. Interesting concept but not worth getting.
