Mentioning the discount on your own site helps people get off the fence and buy something right away, rather than putting it in their file to install and try out sometime. I know not everyone wants to do that, but it seems to work out pretty well for people who do.

I still receive some orders (at full price) with the BdJ affiliate id. So I believe it was fair.

It also sounds like folks who purchased from your site with the discount, cut Bits du Jour out of their take. Hopefully that's not the case.
