The idea isn't really anything new...it was tried some time ago and really ticked off a number of affiliate programs.
This guy 'claims' his sponsors know about it and agree. Time will tell as other affiliates notify the sponsors involved.
Unless he really does have a special arrangement with the sponsors, he does tell the surfer at least one lie I noticed. Namely, that he only gets paid the amount of the trial price...which he then refunds to the surfer. He claims to only make money if the surfer converts to full membership. Possible I suppose, if he's set up some special deal with the programs.
