Fantastic commission news from Virgin Atlantic

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Good Morning

We are pleased to announce that we have brought our payment for global (non UK originated bookings) in line with our UK programme, meaning we will now pay the standard 2% commission of the GBP booking value on any booking in any territory, excluding the great introductory 3% commission for three months for all new affiliates.

This development is really important for us, as publishers can now be rewarded equally for all sales made in and outside of the UK. Bringing the remuneration process in line with our UK programme should make it easier for publishers to understand our programme and know exactly what they will be earning from the bookings they make. We are committed to our affiliate programme and to giving publishers great opportunities to maximise their earning potential and over the coming months we will be communicating more and more special offers from around the world.

The change came into play on 24 February so all transactions from this date will be paid for at the 2% rate, which is fantastic new for our publishers!

If you have any questions at all please feel free to contact me.

Issues with the AffiliateFuture APIs

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Many apologies for the unreliability of the API service. We are aware of the disruption to our affiliates businesses, and are working to resolve this as soon as possible.

After the AffiliateFuture service experienced reporting issues in December we took the difficult decision to suspend the API services to help preserve our core services. Our technical team are still looking at solutions to get this resolved but there is no timeframe for this at present.

We do have access to your data here at AffiliateFuture, so if this issue is causing you serious problems then there may be some other solutions that we can suggest.

Please get in touch by emailing enquiries@affiliatefuture.co.uk or giving us a call on 020 7936 6700.

We will endeavour to keep you updated as we work on this issue through all available channels – including our Blog and our Twitter, as well as the AffiliateFuture Interface.

Regards
The AffiliateFuture Team
