I am baffled about how they communicated it. They just send out a mail and the affiliate page wasn't accessible anymore. I would expected this too be announced with fair notice. Also, they promised differently. The commissions where promised as payments for the life of the referred account. The mail didn't say anything about that. This doesn't feel right.
