This model was very successful for affiliates back in the days of online poker and sportsbooks.
A friend of mine rebated a significant % of his affiliate commissions back to the person signing up. He was the first to offer a program like this and became one of the biggest affiliate sites on the Net. He banked a $$$ fortune because of the generous split he offered. Customers earned "points" for signing up to various sites and these points could then be redeemed for various gift cards for major retailers.
I'm not sure if it's greed, ignorance or some sort of regulatory requirement but if a blogger could use this model with CC signups he/she would almost immediately corner the market.
