I wasn’t aware of this, and I’m not sure I understand why this would be the case. Do you have any more information about this?

If you’re asking why a referral program would forbid the listing of referral links on coupon sites, I’d imagine it’s because most people visiting a coupon aggregator are already on the website checkout page ready to make a purchase. You’re not referring these customers and bringing someone new to the table.
