IMO, what makes people here UNLIKE a professional sex worker is the fascination for small amounts of money.    I assume (perhaps wrongly) that many people make at least a semi-reasonable amount of money, but they get really excited about say BBR for $25 every three months.   Yes, it's "free money" but does it make any real difference.?

In this case, a total of $650 makes it a bit more reasonable if the amount of effort and any opportunity cost is small.   So your call!

I'm not going to offer an opinion on the subject matter, but I will say I'm a sucker for cards that offer a 0% into 12-18 months and cash for spend bonuses. I usually have at least one or two 0% promotions going and on average I made $400 to $1000 a year in spend-bonuses. I don't usually close the account right after the offers expire, but I value the card for what it is as far as spending after the promotions expire. I also make sure I don't carry a balance after the intro period and make sure I meet the spend requirement for the cash back. 

If a card is going to pay me to use their card interest-free, who am I to say no thanks I don't like free money?

Opening up a savings account is much easier.  I did this with CO 360 to get the $200 bonus.
