Hit them up telling them that you did a test join and want a refund.
That way, it's not cheating because you are not trying to make a commission off that sale.
Any sponsor that doesn't let you do test joins -- or cancels your affiliate because you do (so long as you disclose to them that you did a test join after-the-fact) -- is probably hiding something, anyway.
If you really want to test them out, don't mention that you noticed you were not credited for the sale and then see if it magically shows up and then disappears as a refund after-the-fact. If that happens, I'd be extremely cautious with the program and have friends friends that are not local to you test them as well.
Honest sponsors have no problem with you doing *occassional* test joins so long as you disclose it to them when you're done with the test.
