Excellent, that is exactly the thing i wanted someone to say because there is no difference whatsoever, its all about that word you just used LOYALTY affiliates get raised payouts to build loyalty to a specific program, if they no longer send that program traffic, sales, etc then the loyalty bonus should go away.

The problem is, affiliates expect these loyalty bonuses, raised payouts, points, prizes, whatever they ask for, then once something happens with conversions, even if it their own problem, the program is automatically at fault and they stop sending traffic/sales... But STILL expect to be getting the loyalty bonuses.

As i said, it doesnt work like that in the real-world, it shouldnt have to work like that online.

At the end of the day, if you are no longer loyal to a program that is paying you above and beyond what everyone else is getting paid, expect that bonus to be taken away, and re-instated when you start sending traffic/sales again.
