The problem is Pay Per Signup programs. I'm not saying these big guys are scammers intentionally. However, their whole business model is built around screwing someone over. Whether it's webmasters, surfers, processors, someone is getting fucked but one person not getting fucked is Visa. Epoch said it best, pps business model is not one they encourage. It's simple. It attracts the wrong people to do business with you. Open up a partnership program and stand behind your product. Dump free trials, dump trials, dump cross sales. Those are the people you want to do business with. They aren't scrambling, it's business as usual for them. The only exception, if they are like us, is the damage this will do to the processors. We aren't worried about our CB level. We are worried as to whether we will watch our processor go under.

Shap, you are 100% wrong.
Danni's Karups, etc. don't have a chargeback issue (maybe) because they have almost no affiliate program. Yes, they have a program, but not many webmasters use it.
The issue is the larger per-signup guys, like us, that have a competitive payout and have to have trials to convert the traffic. Then we have to maximize the revenue to keep the payouts high so webmasters will still send traffic. Those smaller guys don't do any of that.
Mike, Marc, Roger, and the rest are doing the right thing.
