wow... 300 is $50,000... for ONE post on ONE card on ONE day. that's insanity.

no wonder bloggers will sacrafice their first born for affliate links (and will find loopholes when they can't qualify - ie milevalue). and will do anything to keep the banks happy

I'm really interesting what the banks talked about during that "BACon" session. Not that any of them would dare print it. But i do wonder - any rules about pushing better offers? talking points for blog posts? "gifts" for the attendees?

i'm guessing that the "country-club" blogger atmosphere was in FULL effect that weekend...
