Oh, I thought you meant original as in the one who created the coupon Honey uses.
I think every affiliate along the chain should share the affiliate cut, even if their coupon isn't the one applied, since their coupon lead to a sale. That's not how it works, but it's how it should work.
Or ideally, affiliate link revenue isn't a thing at all and instead stores just pay for ad space. That would significantly cut down on link spamming and hopefully increase the quality of reviews, since views matter more than someone finding the link.
