Yes - stand by for the usual baloney response.
In reality they will probably delay payment until the last possible minute, as per usual when their cah flow is straining. Expect payment to hit your bank on new years eve

You make it sound like this is a regular problem.......

Does it happen every month or is it just a Christmas thing?

Their payment schedule is somewhat erratic although payments usually do hit your bank before the last week of the month. On some occassions, particularly at peak times and public holidays this can be stretched to the extreme.

The usual response you will get is that payments should have all gone out and if you get in touch then they will look into it.

Funnily enough, that's what they said to me yesterday when I asked where the payment had got to. They also assured me payment would be made yesterday and told me to contact them today if the payment didn't go. It didn't go, and now they are saying it will be next week.

As far as I 'm concerned, in the current climate, alarm bells should always ring if someone promises payment on a certain day and then doesn't actually manage to send it.

We work on a number of payments - the first of which (to most of our UK based affiliates) has been paid and should be in your accounts.

The second of which would have been paid on the 23rd - and takes 3-5 working days to appear in your account, so should be in there just after Christmas.

The last of which, overseas payments, should be done on the 29th and appear in your account on the same day due to the nature of international payments.

As always, if anyone is concerned that they have not been paid yet when they should have then please do get in touch with us.

Hope that helps - have a great Christmas everyone.

If the account balance has not altered then payment HAS NOT been made - why do you keep repeating this lie everytime? If Affiliate Future are so strapped for cash then maybe it's time to start reducing some overheads?

Well we are not based overseas but I've still been told that our payment now won't be sent till 29th - and that's after I was originally told that the payment was definitely going to be sent on 23rd.

So are AF just being inefficient or are they strapped for cash?

In the current climate, should affiliates (with whichever network) be concerned about having 60 day payment terms enforced on them? (I say 60 days rather than 30 because we're talking here about commissions earned at the start of November which are not going to be paid till end of December).

I didn't get my payment either and it's still not in the bank ?? 28th Dec ???

Yep, my online account is reporting an incoming payment from buyat on the 29th (monday) but not from 'affiliate fundless'.
So even if the 'fundless fumblers' manage to pay people tommorow you will not see any cash until Monday 5th April?

btw - their quarterly rent is due to be paid on Monday :scared

Our AF account balance still has not dropped for this month yet.

Hope it does by today or it's not going to be paid this month.

Same here - our balance hasn't dropped ye either.

Time to stop any PPC spending on campaigns for AF merchants methinks......
