If you want to replicate it, all the info is in my post. But I'm not going to say straight out what form variable you need to add. But it's very easy to find.
I wasn't trying to diminish your find. Just pointing out that the ID variable has been exploited before. Definitely something all webmasters need to watch out for when choosing a sponsor.

For the record, I think CCBill is an excellent company & use several affiliate programs that rebill for months & months.
