Is it considered cheating???
My dad was going to order my step mom a Kindle so I set up a blog, attached an Amazon store with my Amazon tracking code. Sent him the link to my blog and he is going to order from there. Would you consider that cheating? Please comment.

Recently did that myself and got a massive 4% commission from a $30 product, LOL. Bout a whopping $0.97 ;)
Nope. Who cares whether you know the customer or not; A customer is a customer. I do it with my friends all the the time.
My friends get the product they need...
The company gets the money...
And I get a small commission!
It's win-win for everybody!
Consider it a referral. Why shouldn't you make the commission. Amazon is still going to get the sale.
I would have done the same thing. Matter of fact, the motel I am working at is wanting to purchase about 30 TVs. So, I just might know where to lead them! As soon as I find some good deals and what they want, I will be an affiliate pretty darn quickly. lol
It would be cheating if you broker some rule. But there's no rule against recommending a product or store to family members. If it were, my sister-in-law would have never tasted the great ice cream at the Creamery on Waukegan. I'd have cheated her had I not recommended that store to her.
A customer is a customer.. It doesn't matter if they are related to you or not ==> I think your honesty is simply awesome!
I think it's good to recruit family and friends as customers. I buy from my own site once in a while just to make sure the links are working.
No way; I think that was a great idea. I was considering doing something similar; I have a squidoo page with Amazon links and was going to use it to purchase something for my daughter for Christmas, but I was scared it might be against Amazon's rules.
