MadCheddar runs on NATS and positions itself as a high-transparency program, offering affiliates both a pay-per-sale path and a revenue-share option with rebill commissions included from the first transaction. The per-sale rates and revshare percentages sit at the higher end of the mid-tier category, and the program makes a point of including trial sign-ups in the commission calculation - something not all programs extend to affiliates by default.

The affiliate portal at affiliates.madcheddar.com gives access to the full promotional toolkit: banners in standard IAB sizes, text links, and content-side assets. The program is relatively straightforward to get approved for, with an account management team that responds promptly to setup questions. It is a smaller program than the major studio brands, which means affiliates get more direct access to decision-makers.

A reasonable option for webmasters looking for competitive commission rates and a program team that is accessible rather than routing everything through a ticketing system.
