That puts you in a dilemma, because opposite;
If a program is not serious enough to offer (invest) $12.47 "then they probably don't make any money on the traffic they recieve". Or do they hide something?
I would feel offended, if someone asked me to pay for their product before I sold it, which is a bad start. It's not about those few dollars, but about establishing partnerships based on trust.
Anyway, I think, and what I heard, is that affiliates asking for passes for promo material, is because of lack of promo (updates) at the program site. If I ran a program where everyone asked for passes, I would seriously start looking at my webmaster section.
To avoid freebies, you can just ask to see some examples of previous work. That is totally ok, and if they are really freebies then ask them to go to some newsgroups or torrent sites instead
