• There isn't always a flow of easy broken up trip and I wouldn't advise credit surfing to anyone who only has set amount of days to work. There's been times when it seems like WWIII to get a WSnon a weekend. There have been times when you wake up on a clear blue day in ATL with no open time and before you even have a chance to have breakfast ARCOS rings and you are heading to DHing to Aruba for 24hrs.

As far as trip coverage changes, credit surfers don't scrutinize, we improvise. Hypothetically speaking, even if they flowed easy WS to RSV it would decimate reserve coverage and lead to an ever larger increase of QS/SS/GS. Credit surfing technique has already started shifting to SS/QS in lieu of WS/GS and that would further the migration even more.

Don't hate the player, hate the game
