So say you refer JohnXYZ and he registers from his home computer. If he logs in from his work laptop and decides at that point to upgrade his account, even though that machine hasn't been cookied with the AFL ID you still get credit for the sale because instead of using cookies / tracking pixels its relying on the data in the user record to report the sale.
I've done things in the past for other programs where the script checked for the cookie and would try to replace the AFL ID cookie upon log in, but this is the first affiliate program that I have worked with that didn't depend on a checking a cookie when crediting a sale where a sale is due.
Hit me up on ICQ sometime, love to catch up, or if you're going to Vegas next week just grab me if you see me floating by.

Ah, I guess I was just assuming (wrongly) that all dating sites worked like that since we used to (ie. always set referral in the DB at free signup - never used cookies for sales). I've got to remember what I think is common sense isn't always common to everyone else
I'm flying up to LA and will drive down to Vegas for a few days to drop in on XBiz.
