A few bloggers are guilty of writing 800+ word posts and waiting till the last paragraph to mention the $450 AF. The real "talented" bloggers go the route of mentioning it early and persuading readers that will actually "come out ahead" on this deal. These guys have got credit card shilling down to a fine art!
When the estimated payout is $100-$300 per approved application through their referral link, it can be easier for certain bloggers to "omit" the lower $350 AF available in-branch.
