I'm not one to quote a bunch of things and reply to them with bullet points so I'll just say to the OP, yeah I read your OP and I see you asked if there was a link and he said at this time there was no link for affiliates. That's definitely a very soft "no" and I've heard that before and gotten special permissions before. I did see his post and how he did not want to have an open program and all of the other stuff.

So if I argued for why I should be allowed to promote the bundle and he said no, then I'd ask how long it was going to stay on the affiliate tour and if he would make an option to drop it from my link. If all this fails I would take a closer look at my numbers after it was up for a decent sample time compared to ROI before it went up and keep or drop the sponsor. Sometimes you dump and move on, sometimes you double down if the money is there. How much time / money are you spending into it and what are you getting out. That horse is beaten often but never seems to stay dead.

I just can't call it a scam or shady or whatever else. If he offers a pop-up free link code and it was on that link, then that's bullshit. If he doesn't, then good job checking links and being able to decide if you want to keep the sponsor for whatever your reasons might be. Spilled milk isn't it?
