For a while it was a very lucrative venture when combined with MS. To a large part the top card issuers have managed over the last 3 years or so to make it a lot more difficult.

I guess "lucrative" is a relative term. My time is valuable, and screwing around for a few hundred dollars here and there is not worth my time.

Well, for those getting in heavy in MS in the good old days. it could be well over $100K a year (and you could persuade yourself it wasn't THAT much work!) That's much more MS than sign up bonus, which I agree isn't going to be game changing.
