If the answer is YES, then we have a problem like the sponsor bypassing the webmaster and offering the surfer their own ref codes via email to re-join with a "special price".
Take a look at VideosZ... They don't use CCBILL, but when a surfer cancels, they automatically offer them to stay for half the price. The problem is that the WEBMASTER stops getting the rebill of that surfer, but the Vulturs of VideosZ get FULL CREDIT for that surfer that was sent by a hard working webmaster. So in the end they retain the surfer and still get paid the same of before. That is 15 bucks.... Because they don't need to pay the webmaster anymore.
It's incredible how NASTY and DIRTY the business is becoming day after day.. There are no codes and no ethics at all.

This one was a double whammy: as well as encouraging the surfer to cancel and rejoin, the link to the new join page clears any existing affiliate cookie. Zero chance of the affiliate making any more $ from a member who takes up that offer.
(When this was pointed out to LSG the "our intern did it" excuse came up, and it was removed...)
