Affiliates: Promotion Behaviour - Need a quick clarification, thanks!

As Promotional Behavior is described here - http://docs.whmcs.com/Affiliates

 

"If the referred client uses a promotional code to receive a discount when signing up and you have configured the affiliate to receive a percentage commission, the value of the commission will be reduced. If a fixed amount commission is configured then they will still receive the full value.

 

For example if a '3 months free' promo is used the affiliate gets the commission based on the first payment amount and then recurring amounts that the product is set to. So the user would get a percentage of zero and therefore zero for the first 3 months. "

 

What would occur given the following scenario?

 

Assuming we have both of these programs in place:

 

A-- Promotional code/program = 20% off for the lifetime of the account (when the promo code is entered at signup.)

 

B-- Affiliate program = $20 payout (one time), + 20% off for the lifetime of the account.

 

 

Scenario - An affiliate account is signed up, and that person (also) uses a promotional code at signup, thereby using both "A" and "B" programs at the same time.

 

Question - After signup, will the following be the result?

 

Result = The Customer who has signed up receives 20% off, and at the same time the Affiliate receives a $20 payout.

 

Note: It seems that the above statement is true because according to what is described under "Promotional Behavior" only one 20% lifetime discount will take effect. In other words, program "B" will effectively be canceled out by the 20% off in program "A".

 

True?
