Ah gotcha. So what I said about coupon codes would be valid, but affiliate links are different than the coupon codes. Also crazy they hide bigger discounts.

Edit: But I guess they could find a company offering a coupon code, then sign up themselves knowing it's an option now, and then show that code instead.
