It's just another form of skimming sales and delaying payouts.
It is against basic contract law to unilaterally change the terms of the contract on one side.
When you signed up, and they agreed to a $100 payout, that is what they are legally bound to. When they decide to change it to $200, they are in breach and can be sued.
Of course, all these affiliates know that nobody will sue them, because if the affiliate is screaming for their $ 100 payout, they certainly don't have the resources to sue.
These businesses are un regulated and their tactics are illegal.
It is also a sign that they can not make the payouts because their business is in trouble. The first sign is increased payout level The next will be, delayed payouts, then lastly, no payouts at all.
If I were you, I would cash out what you can and drop the program. These slimy cock sucking assholes think the law does not apply to them, simply because they put bullshit terms in their TOS. They think "whatever is in the TOS" is legal.
They are fucking clueless thieves getting away with it because they are un regulated and their crime is too small for a lawsuit from one person, but if you got 100 affiliates together, you could sue their pants off, punitive damages and criminal charges.
