so if none of your trials convert to full membership you may find that u get i higher shave applied, if your test period is too short then the shave mechanism wouldnt have time to come into full effect, also if every trial converts to full membership you might not get shaved at all....

anyway just a hypothesis that im throwing out there for your consideration
The test wont last longer than a week.

If they say affiliates get 35$ per trial, then they should be paying 35$ per trial. The shavers will be outed regardless.
