Regarding Amazon affiliate earnings, what are the ToS requirements regarding promoting affiliate links directly? Presumably, every affiliate sale makes Amazon money, but if one were doing a lot of sales, would Amazon accuse you of stealing money from them?


As long as we are talking about legitimate sales originating from real people, the 24-hour duration of the affiliate cookie puts Amazon into a very favorable position. I cannot see why AMZN should accuse you of stealing money.

The case you are referring to looks like a "cashback deal".

The purchasing party receives something (money,extension of subscription,...) in return for finalizing the transaction through your affiliate link.

As far as I know, this kind of deals is not possible through the Amazon Affiliate Program.
