TopBucks doesn't pay on backup processor?

I tried to sign up for topbux site "girls get craz" cause I thought I was sending them traffic that should be converting way better than it was. Plus I was curious what they had in their member section, love those mardi gras pics.

My card with a gazillion dollar limit was rejected, but a millesecond after I hit the submit button (didn't seem like enough time to even processes the card), I was redirected to another page with a message saying "your card was declined by our primary credit card processor, please use our backup processor" and my info was already in the fields ready to go, all I had to do was put my # in, and hit submit, and WHALLA! My card was accepted.
Guess what happened when I checked my stats a few hours later.... no credit for the sale.

This could mean 2 things:

#1 the affiliate program is not setup to credit for secondary processors, which would just mean they have an inferior affiliate program to some of the other guysm I know FlashCash pays for backup processor signups.

#2 Their affilate program is setup to automatically send a % of the signups to the "backup" processor so they don't have to pay on the sale.

I think the #2 theory would explain alot, but I don't want to make a fuss.

Is it standard for affilated to not pay on backup processor signups? I heard some of these guys get upto 70% of their initial orders rejected by their primary processors, are the resellers losing 70% of their sales to the backup proc.?
