have to agree too
when I see click bids at more than double any epc we pull on an affiliate deal then I feel very let down and used so I can't say I
am feeling too disposed to credit card aff merchants/agencies at the moment.
we are aware of the cost of credit card customer aquisition via other channels such as direct mail, TV and Radio and how much we cost per aquistion and CPC bidding too, and we know what kind of Payout agencies get per card so there is margin for a fairer share for sure.
I actually had an email dialogue with an agency guy running another well known card aff scheme and even though I placed a justified, reasoned and substantiated argument for better terms they didn't even see fit to reply to my last email, they simply said that the pot was empty and there was no margin for movement in their second email and never even replied after that, how professional is that for someone that "values my traffic"
the EPC of around £1.80 via the scheme yet their overture click bid was £4.53 .. hmm "No margin for movement" not quite true methinks.
