Hey guys, maybe you can help me understand...

I'm new to working with brands and have finally started accepting free products for sponsored videos meant to be uploaded to my YT channel. They keep offering to provide me an Amazon link as part of the deal, which I'm having trouble understanding. Wouldn't they assume that I would want to use my own Amazon link to be able to get the commission, or is using their link somehow the same and/or better than using my own? I just don't see how I would get credited for using an Amazon link that's not mine. Here's an example and the exact working they used:

------------------------------------------------
"Here is your dedicated Amazon affiliate link:

(Link provided)

Please use this link in your video description and/or bio, so your collaboration can be accurately tracked and credited."

-------------------------------------------------

The bolding is theirs. Thanks in advance for any insight!

Anyone else seeing zeros for all their data in Creator Hub (Views, Avg View Duration, Avg % Viewed)? I would assume it's a glitch, but it happened right after I edited a video to add a new product listing for the same product...

I'm about to do my first gifted product collab with a brand but after sending them my address, they just now asked for my phone number and Amazon Associates ID. Is this a normal request? Would love to hear yalls thoughts, specifically those with lots of brand colllab experience.
