This is about the only real reason i can find for the higher CBs this year so far.

The results of the CB analysis:

Nothing strange (!) They're not coming from any one affiliate (in fact only 2 out of the 16 came from affs). They're not coming from any one paysite (16 were spread out over 11 sites). 3 of them came from joining what I consider 'bonus' sites which only receive maybe 50 hits a day. In fact, when I got those sales I thought 'Yup that's a mistake...' LOL

So I guess we'll wrap it up to bad timing, Christmas hangovers, the Target fiasco, etc. Still waiting for comparisons with last years Jan-Feb CB rates but the fact remains chargebacks are (this year) up 250% or 2.5x what they were for all of last year.

Bummer.
