Of course there has to be a way to do that. When I send a lot of traffic and sales I get plenty of sponsors who want to bump up my percentages "on the fly" And others, like AFF as I mentioned before, have their backend set up automatically to raise and lower your percentages according to traffic.

And that includes rebills too. Say you sent 2,000 sales to AFF last month, and you sent them half a million uniques. Well, you're gonna find your percentage set at 55%. Great!

But now next month you only send 100 hits and one sale. Well, guess what? All of those rebills from the previous month are now gonna come in at only 35% And that's worked that way since the beginning.

So yeah, there should and is a way for merchants to do whatever they like with the business that they own. As affiliates, we are just glorified salesmen. Nothing more. Even though I like to think I'm "important" as an affiliate lol
