COMPETITION TIME!

January promotion - Reach your Target and Increase your Commission
Reach your own personal target of new FTD’s and get 10% extra over your current commission. That gives you a chance to get a whopping 60% commission from us! Your target will be set using an average of your FTD’s from Oct-Dec, which is then increased by 10%. If you have an average of 1 or below, the minimum will be set at 6 FTD’s. You will have the whole of January to reach this target and your commission will be amended for the whole of February. Email us to promos@affiliateclub.com to send you your personal target. Please do not forget to mention your affiliate ID and “January promotion” in the subject. Good luck!

The Thanksgiving 5% extra commission has now ended.
We were amazed by the amount of honest emails we received from affiliates. All affiliates who sent us their feedback received 5% extra commission in December. All of your feedbacks are very much appreciated and were handed on to the rest of the company so we can work on changes and improvements that you would like to see.

If you received this additional commission, your commission has now gone back to the previous deal.
