I doubt many marketers would want you to know this….
but generally speaking you can use your own Clickbank id when you buy something!
Affiliate FAQ 23. Can I purchase products through my own hoplink?The short answer is yes, but ClickBank does not condone affiliates using their accounts for this sole purpose. As stated in our Accounting Policy, “ClickBank accounts cannot be used for the sole purpose of collecting rebates or otherwise extending credit to yourself or others.” That is, affiliates should not be using their own hoplinks to purchase products for themselves and then collect a “rebate” check from ClickBank.
Unless an account contains sales from made with 5 or more different credit card numbers, including at least one Visa card, and one MasterCard, our system will not generate a check for that account (even if the balance has met or exceeded the payment preference). PayPal and eCheck purchases do not count toward the minimum.
So as long as you are getting other sales then you can use your own id when you buy something from Clickbank! (It’s advisable to check the terms of indivdual products though)
