Since this is a business. I would have to think that if someone claimed that a link provided by a particular blogger lead them to have their information stolen could have a rather large impact on the amount of future sign ups.
As a consumer, I am rather cautious when using any type of link to sign up. I want to not only protect my credit score, but also want to make sure my information is safe. I think this could be a reason why all the small blogs do not have referral links.
Yay, I'm glad someone else worries about identity theft (other than cynical me). As I say, always look for the lock sign beside the https. You want ->verified by ____. And also the aff links will redirect you to the same link as the public offer just with all the crecardlink.com/affid=aeoitu4h3iu1h3kjnv so it's the same link.
Same as looking for best offer, be alert!
