If you want to make it right have the link for existing customers signing up for your new brand include the original affiliate code. This makes affiliates happy and working hard to sign up new customers for ALL of your brands.
Let's hope that whatever solution you come up with works for affiliates and is also retroactive. After all, customers who are signing up for spygasm are usually using the same emails, right? Same credit card? It should be trivial for you to credit the affiliate who worked to give you that customer.

True words here.
Affiliates are mostly just used as traffic collateral, we upped the numbers, add an invisible value to it and we get dumped or re-sold. Affiliates are building the pyramids so someone can die in wealth. This is a trend going on for years and it will remain for years, cause there is always a portion of affiliates who do not ask more and just accept it.
When you put all your eggs in one basket with 1 program and they notice it then you will get burned in the end.
