I just realized that you were talking of the link I added… You should really check your facts.

RFD requires to LOG-IN in order to get cashback. The link i used was a PUBLIC deeplink to the app, available on http://www.redflagdeals.com/cashback/. It takes you to a offer page, from where you will be redirected to the app page after logging in. If you're already logged in RFD, it will display YOUR tracking code.

When I copied the deeplink, I was LOGGED OUT from RFD, and using a PRIVATE SESSION of my browser, meaning no referral info could have been present.

If you know anything about how affiliate links work, just look at the parameters of the URL.
is RFD intern reference for this cashback deal.
is RFD default affiliate URL to the Scotia App page. If you use only this URL, RFD will get a commission, but in order to deliver cashback to a member, they'd need said member tracking code, which is not present in the link.

For instance, the tracking URL looks like this when I'm logged in (tracking code censored in example below) :
The tracking code is also displayed when applying while logged in. The default affiliate link is available if you click "I'm not interested in RedFlagDeals™ Cash Back".


So what I added was a DEEPLINK the the RFD deal, but it never was a referral link of any sort. I hope things are clear.
Now, I agree I should have explained here what kind of link I posted. It would have avoided any confusion, and I understand it was easy to be confused by this link.
If no one sees any objection, we should add the link again to the Wiki, thus it will easier be for FTers to find the cashback offer.
