How do we know the sponsor isn't emailing the people who didn't convert to a full join again after the affiliate cookie expires and grabbing the sale for themselves? Affiliates now exist in a culture of expecting to be cheated. It's made for a lot of distrust. It's easier to just refuse to send to trials on revshare rather than investigate and have to trust someone.

We don't use crosses or else I would just be a PPS sponsor.
We do upsell in the members area to cams and stuff, but it's not a blind link hard upsell or anything, and the revenue from that isn't enough to cover 1 exclusive content set a month.
As for the trial members, they are either going to convert in 1 day, or not, most who want to upgrade do so within 20 minutes of joining, a small % just forget to cancel, and the percent you can catch months down the road is very small through emailing. No sponsor is making bank emailing expired trial members.
We do everything we can to get anything we can from the trial members, we give resellers credit for all the different attempts at collecting membership including but not limited to the 3 different retention price offers as they goto cancel, the step down rebilling, non-US billing, most sponsors keep that for themselves, I'd say 90% we don't.
Most revengebucks webmasters are used to seeing all kinds of strange sale/rebill amounts ranging like 50 cent trials, $5.84 retention price sales, $11 step down rebills.
As far as I know there's no way if I were (I don't) email trial members months later to give credit to original reseller since NATS doesn't allow me to re-activate old expired members, they would have to signup all over again.
Hope that makes sense
