I have been going through some of my older affiliate accounts and found some with some unclaimed commissions in them. I have been closing quite a few of them due to inactivity and due to the fact I targeting different countries now. The brands I have contacted have paid out any outstanding commissions and closed my account on my request.
I came across one brand who I never really had much success with but it still had some commission. I contacted their AM, Shiri, and requested payment to my eWallet and for the affiliate account to be closed.
He replied saying they would not be paying me as it did not meet the threshold. I explained I wanted the account to be closed and the payment was a final payment of money owed. They still refused. This is the reply and stance of Mr.Play Partners and how they treat their affiliate members:
I have talked to management and I was told we can't send a payment of €*** as our threshold is €800, as is mentioned in our T&C:
"You will be paid on a monthly basis, provided the amount payable to you is not less than ?00 for payment Via Wire Transfer. If this minimum amount is not reached in a particular month, We will be entitled to withhold payment and carry the amount due to you to the next calendar month and so on, until the minimum amount is reached. All payments will be due and paid in Euro or in any other currency in our discretion."
We can always renew our partnership and start working together again, if this is relevant to you just let me know what source of traffic you have and GEOs, and will close a deal.
Thank you,
Shiri
I just wanted to let other affiliates here know this is how these guys operate. Not only will they potentially withhold your final commission payments they also set quite a high payment threshold. I dont recall any brands I have worked with over the years setting their payout so high.
