More that it is really difficult, if not impossible, to get on the best CC affiliate lists (read: Chase). The amount of business they want driven to them for new customers is only met by a few of the largest bloggers, and knowing the Chase requirements I'd almost be surprised if even TPG/MMS/VFTW are pulling in the numbers needed if their deals were starting now. If they were, they'd be making truly absurd amounts of money, but the Chase crackdown on inquiries tells me that the conversion rates must be way down even amongst the blog readers because they just aren't approving at the rates necessary.
