Preventing Affiliate Fraud and Chargebacks
By AI Girlfriend Affiliate Editorial · May 4, 2026
How affiliates and advertisers keep AI companion campaigns clean — spotting fraud, reducing refunds and chargebacks, and protecting commissions.
Fraud and chargebacks quietly erode affiliate earnings and advertiser trust. Keeping campaigns clean protects everyone — and keeps you in good standing for the best offers.
For affiliates: send real traffic
- Never use bots, incentivized or misleading traffic — it gets reversed and can remove you from offers.
- Set honest expectations in creatives so users don't refund.
- Keep records of your campaigns so you can defend a questioned conversion.
For advertisers: review before you pay
Conversions arrive as pending for review. Approve genuine ones; watch for patterns that signal fraud (spikes from one source, abnormal refund clusters). Refunds and chargebacks can reverse the matching conversion by transaction id, so accurate postbacks matter.
Why clean traffic wins
Low refund and chargeback rates keep approval rates high, which keeps EPC honest and earnings stable. Clean affiliates get approved for premium offers; clean advertisers attract better affiliates. Compliance is a growth strategy, not a tax.
