How is awardnexus altruistic?

I've been blogging since 2004 and doing credit card affiliate marketing since 2006. Was always surprised that more bloggers didn't join the programs sooner, but Ingy was definitely an early adopter as well. It's only a matter of time before you realize you can monetize your hobbies and pursuits to justify the time invested in them.
