Simon Says not responding and not paying

[GFPC]

Do you have any opinions on the system Andy is possibly going to implement?

I know over the year - you were hit hard with payment issues of some sorts with a few programs and I often see you post about payment issues.

I am glad you got paid - that's awesome..

Since your active in this area i would like to know from your expertise what you think would be a good system here.

yesterday I sent an email to all their email addresses including all email addresses from Simon Says Casino, and finally today Kendra from Simon Says Affiliate Program has replied to me and has paid me my commissions.

Thanks guys for your support.

If i worked a 9-5 job like I used to in a company that i managed - if employees were not paid on 1 day - they were upset and calling human resources. On a few occasions sometimes payroll company was late a single day.

Same should be fore affiliate programs - with some slack for processing time.

I totally agree. I mean everything is automated. Besides if Casino Programs like Reward Affiliates (MGS casinos), Affiliate Wide (Rival) and others can pay on time month in month out, the other affiliate programs can too.

This has always been my pet dislike...

Most of us have mortgages, rent, bills ect...ect that are due. Having to phone the bank manager and say sorry dude payment will be late, again, every month is embarrassing.

It's especially nasty when you bust your ass for these programs and your earning decent dollars for them and they can't be bothered paying on a particular date each month.

Granted things happen, it is the net, and yeah most affiliate programs have in their T&C's ( payments will be made by x date each month)...However just like your employees have commitments so do affiliates. So paying people on the same day is not just appreciated, it's just good business ethics and manners.

After all affiliates are supposed to your partners too.

So yeah I also agree that we should be able to alert other affiliates if payments are not received within a certain time frame.



Cheers

Standard procedure!!

A section called " NON PAYING AFFILIATE PROGRAMS" - if the payment is 3 days late affiliates can report it.

This way everyone can see in one thread all the programs who have not paid.

Hi, I think this is a great idea. Why should myself and other Affiliates Continue to waist our time, promoting rivals that aren't paying affiliates!

Apologies again,

Now its August with NO Payment -No Direct Answer- No Resolve in Sight
I strongly agree with others - If an Affiliate Program does NOT pay within the calendar month of when a payment is due they should be considerd in "Breach of Non Payment" and called out. I really believe the more attention they recieve the stronger action they will take to resolve issues such as this.

Personally, If I saw constant payment issues with ANY affiliate program I would not sign up - promote or even give them a min of my time. I would appreciate the heads up from a reputable forum such as AGD and its members.
