Lets say you want to the test a product out before promoting it.

Are you allowed to buy the product trough your own affiliate link?

Good question, would like to know that as well.
 
I searched this before, and all the answers say its perfectly fine to do so. I've also purchased several product via my link and everything went normal and I haven't heard anything from clickbank warning me not to do it, so I would assume its ok.
 
i did it once, and probably will do it again. Never had any problem at all
Also have noticed people do that all the time
 
Been аn affiliate wіth a company thаt encourages thе owners tо buy from theіr оwn store. I find іt rеаllу strange that a program wоuld advise аgainst such.

So lеt me sеe іf I understand yоu and аm subject to correction. You sell goods оr services, but you cаn't buy frоm yourself, you muѕt give thе sale tо ѕоmеone else?

Did уоu read the fine prints - What dіd it say?

It dоes nоt matter whаt wе tell you, if buying from уour affiliate link violates the terms of conditions undеr whiсh уou signed uр yоu mіght be risking ѕomе thing here.

Some affiliate hаvе bееn terminated for buying from thеir оwn links, ѕо іt wіll save you thе anguish tо јuѕt check with thе terms of service ѕо уоu do nоt mess up ѕоmеthіng good.
 
At the end of the day,the publisher is getting a sale.So,I think there shouldn't be any problem
 
As long as its not just information, (actually buying) its usually safe.
 
Buying through your own link is fine, but some vendors don't mind even giving you limited access to it without buying.

All I can say is that the would would be a much nicer place without scammers/fraudsters like yourself.

Yeah, talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Vendors are the reason you have products to promote, and you're going to negatively affect their refund rate even though you're already getting 66-75% of it back in affiliate commissions anyway?

If I was to place a "sure-thing" bet on an IM failure, it'd be someone who chronically does this.
 
Yes, Clickbank requires 5 payments from different credit cards before paying out affiliate commissions. I think it's a good idea to use proxy for other affiliate programs but you ought to read their terms anyway.
