What is a "POC"?

Side Rant : It's really helpful if an acronym is at least expanded in the first use. I don't find the acronym in the article or the parent comment. I am not sure why and how this is a norm but it's frustrating as someone who wants to understand a conversation.

If anyone has a hard time empathizing with unexplained acronyms, read a bit of https://www.reddit.com/r/churning/. I think the jargon is okay for the nature of that community (taking advantage of credit card sign up bonuses) but following discussion there can be really confusing until acclimated.

Example sentence: "CSR CL can be lowered. Need $5k CL to PC it to most cards, $10k to PC a(nother) card to CSR. Recon might only be able to drop it to $5k, you might have to SM to go lower than that."

Proof of Concept
Piece of Crap?
Sorry about that. POC was introduced in the parent comment, but as you said without expansion.
