Good news, they are killing the affiliate program:
Closure announcement:
Current affiliate system will be closed Mon Dec 15 at midnight (UTC). All registered referral rewards will be paid but no more referrals will be registered after this date.
Main reason; resources claimed by current affiliate system have negative impact on overall service performance, especially in support area but also in payment deadlines.
Moving to new generation product, new marketing strategy and adding new payment gateways are other reasons.
As discussed with a part of customers, the current affiliate percent will be maxed at 35% until closure.
In case you redirect customers to website, make sure they use correct affiliate link when accessing website since no more support is offered for affiliate system (one main reason to stop it). Make sure they dont use another affiliate link after using yours since the new ID will overwrite your affiliate ID and referral will be registered under new ID.
I'm happy about this and wish all the small share sales would stop too because they create a flood of tiny accounts that are all clamoring for support. It was better when it was mostly bigger accounts that you had to really put skin into the game.
its a great news for us . great job chris
