Go look at OMAAT’s points.com links (used as an example) when he writes about a sale by an airline or hotel that uses points.com to do a sale. Those are for sure referral links. I would bet money there’s a OMAAT kickback on using that link.

Contrast with other ones where it’s being sold by an airline, like Emirates,

No referral link, just straight linking to EK’s site.

AS miles are sold by, you guessed it, points.com. It’s a sucker bet they pay for referral links. I sure as hell would if shill- I mean, promoting them with press releases to esteemed members of the travel blogging community got people to drop a couple thousand in cold hard cash. Write about that amazeballs CX redemption for the 6847th time and ch-ching..I would argue this is potentially MORE profitable of a referral than a credit card signup where you have to hand out a signup bonus up front. So why wouldn’t points.com be willing to pay for the action?
