Copy/paste of my post over at AskDamageX in this same titled thread...
No, what's "awesome" is the amount of traffic and affiliate-free signups they will get during the almost six months of FREE advertising participants of this "contest" will be handing them.

Think about it.
Webmasters/Affiliates will be giving away ref-free signups (as well as become cheap, meaning free, advertising) trying to win 100 bucks. No thanks, i'll go the regular route and get paid for EVERY signup I send.

I'm not hatin', just pointing out the advertising ploy (it also has a dual edge...webmasters will be slitting their own throats...call it a test run to more sponsors doing the same type of thing). It comes down to more conversions for them, less affiliate payouts they have to issue and a shitload of free advertising that will last for as long as the sticker is legible and seen in those "awesome public places").

Another step in the testing of ways to get rid of affiliates. Believe it or not.
