When a potential customer comes to a Backcountry.com site through you, the cookie is set, regardless of whether they buy immediately. This means that if the same user comes back to Backcountry.com (even if they go to Backcountry.com directly and not through your link) within 120 days, you still get credit for the sale. The only way your cookie can be overwritten is if the user comes to Backcountry.com from another Affiliate site.

Our baseline commission payout starts at 8%. Over time, however; you have the ability to earn up to 12% per sale. The program pays out both one-time commission incentives for when you have a banner month and commission tiers for affiliates who consistently meet and exceed goals. What this means is the more sales you make, the more your commission revenue will snowball. To wit: Selling twice as much will often get you more than twice as much revenue.
