Hello Ironchef16,
No I do not mind sharing. I'm always an open book. I don't know how other bloggers operate and if they want this information shared but I don't mind sharing.
I have credit card links on my site that pay me a referral of anywhere from $20 - $200 per approval depending upon the card. Each lender offers a different price for each of their cards. When you become an marketing affiliate you have access to all the offers that the lender approves your site for. Sometimes you don't get the best offer links and no one does only the lender has them. I have my "TOP DEALS" area that will always have the best offer links I am personally aware of no matter if I receive a referral or not. I always want you the reader to have the best deal. I would love to have the referral but not at your expense.
Every miles/points blogger you see out there has the same links. Really the way I see it you have 2 choices when sign up for a credit card offer.
1.You can put some $$ in your favorite bloggers pocket 2. you can give that money to the bank if you go through a direct lenders link(some big CEO will make a bigger bonus that year). You aren't losing anything by using my link or another miles/points blogger. You are just helping the small guy/gal out. So there you have it in a nut shell.
