Wait, let's do some math here. If you want us to offer a discount to your surfers, we potentialy eat way more than you in the process.

Let me explain:

------------------------------
Per Signup Payout
Normal:
$40 site with $35 payout --- sponsor makes $5

Price and flat payout both reduced by $15:
$25 site with $20 payout --- sponsor makes $5

But carry that out with rebills:
1 rebill = $45 vs $30
2 rebills = $85 vs $55
3 rebills = $125 vs $80
4 rebills = $165 vs $105

So even though it looks like YOU absorb the discount,you would actaully reduce OUR net by 33% or more, right?

What makes more sense to me is "wholesale price" and "suggested retail price":

When an affiliate sells a $40 site at 60%, I keep $16 and the affiliate keeps $24. So what if I said my "wholesale price" is $16 -- and if you want to sell if for $17, you make $1 per sale + $1 per rebill. You can set your price point anywhere you like then, it doesn't dig into my pocket at all.
