Can I buy from myself on Commision Junction affiliate program?

And I am talking consistently not just one time

This is not about scamming them but actually buying and paying for stuff.

    You sort of are scamming them, because you use your affiliate account to get products with a discount. If they find out, you will most likely get banned.

      You got a point but I will be spending money with them, I mean sale is a sale. If I don't get that discount I will probably find some other supplier. I read some other forums that people do that and they get by by. One guy said that he called 10 of his affiliates and 10 of them said its not a problem.

      So does anyone on Warrior doing this and have no problems or complains?

        You can probably get away with it as long as cj doesn't find out. Yes, they still make some money from you, so as far as cj is concerned, there should be no problem. But if you were a product owner using cj, would you be ok with cj letting people sign up and buy your product with a discount through them. Most likely not. So, that probably is the reason why cj doesn't allow it. They have a reputation to think about.

        I know that clickbank had a problem with serial refunders (people who buy a digital product and request a refund afterwards, but still get to keep the product). It is sort of the same thing. If you run a business like cb or cj, you can't afford to allow such things.
