    may I ask those expert here a question.

    may I know if we are allowed to buy stuffs from our own Affiliate Programs with any of the company we have signed up with?

    maybe someone asked before but i couldnt find the info. hoping someone could let me know as i dont wish to get my account ban/lock for my Affiliate Programs with the company.

    thanks in advance.

    It depends solely on the affiliate program.

    You'll need to read the terms and conditions of the individual aff program, but in the vast majority of cases, you'll find it's a big fat no. Hope this helps.

    I've found PLENTY of affiliate programs that allow you to buy your own product. I always look for an affiliate program before I buy a product. Heck, if I can buy it from myself and save a few $$, why not!

    there are a lot of affiliate companies out there that let you do it, best way to find out if your affiliate company lets you is to talk to your affiliate manager, they have all the answers :D.

    Most affiliate programs do not mind if you buy using your own link as long as you do not try to abuse or fraud the system. If you buy for yourself and get commission - no problem. If you try to place fake orders, place orders for fake people, with fake credit cards, etc -- you will be thrown out and not paid. It is fair and makes sense.
