Well imho, the webmaster doesnt have to have lost money on the member, the good thing about paying on the rebill, is that you can pay the affiliate more than just a single rebill value, for example, $40 on a $29.95 rebill beause the surfer has already billed once and the affiliate should be compensated for that initial sale... Thats actually a higher payout than on a regular 50% revshare basis too.

For the program owner its good because you actually build up a base of customers who dont lose you money because of high affiliate payouts on the initial sale and the affiliates actually end up making MORE so the program will attract a larger affiliate base.

The downside however is that most affiliates today want paying now, right now, without any delays because we have conditioned them to have the mindset they should be getting paid right after the surfer becomes a member, and they should be getting paid $40 on a $1 sale.
