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.

You act as if the referral whores running around here send actual traffic. You aren't going to get double the sales if they refer me because I'm going to send more sales than they do 99.9% of the time.
And on that note by me not using their referral code will the ones actively promoting suddenly stop sending traffic? Nope. You just want those loose webmasters signed up with no referrals at all. Like I said, 100% bottom line. How much do all the promo tools you offer every noob in the world cut into your bottom line? What about all the time on ICQ explaining to morons how to insert a link code correctly?
