I believe other affiliate links would override it, but the beauty of this technique is that there's already such a substantial customer base belonging to Amazon that it's highly likely that person clicking your affiliate link would be to Amazon within a short time period making purchases. And you'd get credit for the sale, because he clicked your affiliate link in the ref logs.
