signing up ubder your own affilliate code to a sponsor program is not permitted under most programs, an I would hazard a guess that even the very weakest affilliate software is set up to filter out webmasters who sign themselves up
So let's take max cash as an example they pay you $35 for a $2.95 trial... some smarty pants partner decides to sign up... it costs $2.95 and he/she figures to net back $32.05 in cash
I don't know or use join for free, but I bet they have already accounted for webmasters who sign up under their own accounts or their "friends" accounts to generate more sign ups
I would consider what you are doing fraud, as you are attempting to sign up for free under your own affilliate code, and then expect to net back the proceeds of the sale, whether that be $25 or whatever amount.
I'll betcha a counterfeit three dollar bill, that the join for free affilliate script wiped out your signup before you even got started checking your stats
