Chase atleast had the option to apply directly for the 60K Inks (which is what I did) - last month Amex didnt have this option and I had to choose one from the pack for the 75k offer.
I'm curious: why not throw some affiliate revenue to a blogger. It costs you nothing.
I only ask because I feel the same way, but am having trouble explaining to myself why.
With my last credit card sign up I offered to split the affiliate fee with anyone who had a link. No takers as apparently they can't share the spiff with their readers or else their affiliates drop them.
But I wonder if they can, I dunno, throw some points or other sign of appreciation for a sign up...
BTW, a good blog post/comments on this very issue:
