You're right Abel up until the point you do so for money.

6.17.3. Pilots flying UA on other than instrument flight plans must pass the required knowledge test for a private pilot certificate as stated in 14 CFR 61.10510, Aeronautical Knowledge, (or military equivalent) for all operations beyond visual line-of-sight and for all operations conducted for compensation or hire regardless of visual proximity.

I'm wondering if the AMA is aware of this rule? This could very well be in conflct of the rule for training for compensation unless the AMA worked something out directly with the FAA.
