Well, sure... in theory you could set up shop on the parking garage of a mall and hand everybody your AMEX referrer link on a card and hope some will sign up. Or pay the fees for the manufacturing spending since you find it good value. But in these cases it will be trivial to show SKV that the points were not "earned" as "income". Well, we might argue about handing out the referrer links.
