I'm not willing to put up with much of anything. If I see something suspicious I'll usually bail. There are always other choices out there and if there isn't then there's always other products to sell. At times I might reluctantly put up with something minor like urls all over the hosted videos but only when it still seems advantageous to use that sponsor. Once a better choice comes along they are gone.
With your situation with AWE you know whether you were sending honest signups or not. So you know whether or not they can be trusted. *If* they really are cheats there's no sense begging cheats for your money. I mean when is the last time a bank robber voluntarily returned the money out of the goodness of their heart? You sent 100 signups over a month or so. Over a couple years then you can easily send thousands of signups. Go do it. Send it to their competitors. You're not some bum begging for money, you're sending leads. Make money without them. Fuck 'em. You don't need them.
