What about Consumer-Affiliate Linking? CCbill evidently was going to include it in the ill fated WMS.

What is Consumer-Affiliate Linking?
Consumer-Affiliate Linking is a method of making sure that your affiliates are paid for future sales based on a prior referral.
CCBill uses the consumer email address, payment information, or a combination of the two to determine if a customer signing up has purchased before, and if so checks to see if those transactions were linked to an affiliate. If so it ensures that the affiliate is paid for referring the new transaction as well.

The Swurve.com dating program seems to have something like it as well.

Superior Sale Tracking
The problem with cookies is over time they can go stale. With Swurve when a user you have referred registers an account we hard code your affiliate ID into their user record, insuring that no matter how much time has passed or how many times they've dumped their cache and cleared their cookies you still get credit when they upgrade their membership. How great is that?! We know when you make more you send us more sales and we are committed to doing more to ensure you get credit for all your marketing efforts.

Does NATS 4.0 or the planned NATS 4.1 (or even the MPA3 competitor) have consumer-affiliate linking and if so where can we see that it is enabled in the affiliate admin?
