Wifey never leaves, and instead lures him off to watch a movie or take out the garbage or something. So he doesn't log on until the next time he is alone at the PC, say, 4 days later.

Was he a valid sale? Or would his failure to log on rapidly after the signup process suggest an invalid signup and therefore the webmaster doesn't get credited, even if he in factis a valid and paying member?

It would seem to me that this is a very important question!
