AFAIK, Affiliate means "To associate (oneself) as a subordinate, subsidiary,
employee, or member" while Associate means "To join as a partner, ally, or
friend."

Fairly close in meaning, IMHO, and a distinction that is lost on most
people.

I'd also be worried about implying that Amazon were a subsidiary of Creed
(as if!!). Aside from that, the official name for the program is "Amazon
Associates".

Right now, I think I'll just lose the header on the box that - by its
presence - gives this context, and let the button just float free.
