Read and catalog every post on MilesEarnandBurn.com and Milenomics.com, plus the wider points-and-miles ecosystem (FlyerTalk, r/churning, Doctor of Credit, Frequent Miler and similar), and turn it into one master reference document, PLAYBOOK.md. For each source, record what it teaches about earning and redeeming points and miles, and organize everything into one playbook with these sections: foundations and frameworks; a manufactured-spend reference shelf; redemptions; a pattern library of what has worked and what has died; survival rules (shutdowns, clawbacks, account safety); and a personal 90-day plan for me. Label every play with a risk level: LOW (normal consumer behavior), MEDIUM (aggressive but common), HIGH (known shutdown trigger at scale), or ACCOUNT-SHUTDOWN-RISK (documented mass-shutdown waves). Include everything regardless of risk - do not filter, label instead. Give me an honest state-of-the-game summary as of late October 2026: what still works at scale, what is dead

The result

One file, PLAYBOOK.md, compiled from 2,300+ posts: Miles Earn and Burn (1,577 posts, 2020-2026), Milenomics (641 posts, 2013-2026), plus about 85 ecosystem sources. The headline finding: classic volume manufactured spend is effectively dead as a scalable strategy - Bluebird/Serve shut down in June 2026, Simon Malls ended gift card sales in January 2025, gift-card-to-money-order is dying, Plastiq is dying. The modern game is welcome-bonus sequencing plus category/portal optimization plus payment-side earning, and one 80k-100k welcome bonus beats a year of careful MS. It also flagged my specifics: zero Chase cards is my biggest opportunity (the 48-month Sapphire rule was eliminated in June 2025, and you can now hold both Sapphire cards), the Wyndham 8x gas is my number-one edge to protect, and Bilt transfers to Hyatt drop to 4:3 on January 1, 2027.
