I wish you were right, but it’s 100% the referral bonus and the advertising revenue. Nothing more. The top bloggers ONLY do it because its their job, not as a favor to you or me.

Re card design, you’re highlighting the value prop that matters to you. People get the top tier AA and UA cards for the same reasons they get DL… they’re “frequent fliers” who want lounge access, bonuses towards elite status, and whatever else is part of the total package.
