Quick answer
Yes. AWeber runs an active affiliate program paying up to 50% recurring commission for the lifetime of the referred account. Reported cookie duration is 365 days, though sources disagree — some report 90 days — so treat the attribution window as the least certain figure in this record.
Program overview
AWeber is one of the oldest email service providers still operating independently, founded in 1998. Its affiliate program reflects that longevity: a high recurring percentage, no twelve-month cap, and one of the longest attribution windows reported in this directory.
Commission details
30% for 0–99 new paid accounts referred in a trailing 12 months, 40% for 100–499, 50% for 500+. Paid monthly for the lifetime of each paid account.

Cookie duration
AWeber does not state an attribution window on its program page. Third-party sources report both 365 and 90 days, and we could not resolve the conflict against a primary source, so the field is left empty.

Editor's notes
Cookie duration for AWeber is the single most inconsistently reported figure we encountered in this build, with credible sources giving both 365 and 90 days. We have recorded the more commonly reported figure and flagged the uncertainty rather than presenting it as settled.

Frequently asked questions
Does AWeber pay 50% commission to every affiliate?
No. 50% is the top of a range that starts at 30%. Sources describing a flat 50% are quoting the ceiling rather than the entry rate.
