But now you have two people promoting your program, not one.

You send traffic to XYZ company and get 10 joins a day.
10*$30/join = 300
$300*1.15 = $345

Now if you refer someone else and they send 10 joins a day, I still have your $300 and now someone else's $300 and have to pay the referral. I'm now paying $645, but have twice as many joins.

The bottom line is just because you refer yourself doesn't mean you'll twice as many joins. If you refer someone else, they'll send joins.

Yes, you may find a way around it and companies won't know, but I know of larger companies that shut down accounts or tell webmasters when they find out they can't do it.

It truly cuts into the profit margin, paying $30-40/join already hurts bad enough.
