I forgot to post nudges! Here they are, in order of increasing blatancy:

1. The central clue and entry is the meta hint: Appropriate name for terms like "PIN number" and "ATM machine", which is RAS SYNDROME.

2. RAS SYNDROME stands for "Repetitive Acronym Syndrome Syndrome".

3. There are three examples of RAS Syndrome in the grid. But they are not found together like 33 across is.

4. The meta answer is a further example of RAS Syndrome and needs to be submitted in its redundant form.

The good news is that I figured out all of this on Tuesday. The bad news is that I still don't know what the answer is.

EDIT: The better news is that I finally found it. I guess I needed the confidence provided by the spoilers to dig just a little deeper.

Same as others.... missed something necessary for a while....
Now there... or there... or there...

Thanks, Ben!
