Amazon: Auto parts finder widget doesn't have my tracking ID tag in the URL

I added the auto parts finder widget at here:

http://www.autopartswar.com/year/1938/

And across the whole site.

So I gave it a test by selecting the year, the make, the model and then click ‘Go’. The URL I arrived at was something like this:

http://www.amazon.com/2010-Acura-MDX/e/B004CGUJMW?_encoding=UTF8&carId=

Which does NOT contain my associate ID nor the tracking ID: autopartswar-20.

I contacted amazon associate support about this problem but they said it’s all right. But I’m still having doubts about this. If the final URL the customer arrives at doesn’t have my tracking ID or associate ID, how are they actually tracking that they are my commissions / referrals?

Really weird. Anybody knows if I should keep using the auto parts finder widget?

If that’s the case, I think you should stop using the auto parts finder widget. I think Amazon protects its integrity by keeping us believe that their trackers are alright but it’s our sales that are put into the verge here.
