I don't think it is a TMM (NATS) question persay, but more one for programs who have gone from one affiliate management system to another. It would be interesting to hear MANSION's take on it as well, and insight from the actual programs that have done this transition. A list of those programs would be a good start.
As I stated earlier, we went with NATS from day one to avoid any future integration problems such as this. Better to have it clean and working well the first time through. I know the information for affiliate referrals in NATS is stored in a database and not accessable through the NATS admin.
A list of referrals would have to be accumulated and imported, but it seems as though it would be a large task to check the original referrals from CCBill or what have you, then check to see if any of those affiliates signed up again to the new system. And if the referrer has signed up to the new system as well.
Not saying it is impossible, but it seems like something that would be incredibly difficult for a program to keep track of. It may be something where an affiliate might lose all referrals the new referrals, unless they know their specific referred accounts. The old account would still be active until those rebilling members/links become unused.
Great business thread After Shock Media. This one will be bookmarked.
