Personally I don't care if a sponsor has a Links page or whatever. It makes no difference to conversion/sign ups. I know others won't feature affiliates that do have Links pages and they, like me, are entitled to their opinions.
I only ask for links if it's a non-affiliate site as you say. However, if an affiliate does have a links page it would be nice to get a back link.
Just one other point. If an affiliate has a poor conversion rate I will still feature them IF I have a link back. It's all a trade off really.
