Exclusive deals

I would like to know something, and have been looking online for sometime to find the answer but no luck yet, I am sure someone from here will be able to point me to the right direction...

Is there any way an exclusive voucher code can be given to the site users, and when they use it I would still get the % commission as it will be passed via an affiliate link.

My question is - can an exclusive voucher code be passed using an affiliate link to the retailer site?

Say, example scenario is, I manage to get an exclusive voucher code from a retailer which can be used by my site only, but of course, in somehow this will need to be integrated to the affiliate link so that I still gain commission and the user get the voucher code/special promotion.

Is this possible?

I think it would be difficult for retailers to instigate the process as you have described.

Say I take your exclusive code and put it on my website. My link to the merchant would be the same as yours except I would have a different affiliate ID.

To achieve what you want, the retailer would have to cross check the parameters passed at checkout (ex code = affiliate) to then allow the discount. At this point it wouldn't be in the retailers interest to turn down the sale by disallowing it because it came from my site.

So, there are 2 issues I can see - 1) building the functionality into the checkout process, and more importantly, 2) securing the sale for the retailer.

Of course they could analyse their stats after the event and disallow any commissions earned for that code via my site, but this is of no use to you.

Allthediscounts - thank you very much for your reply, is it possible to get a voucher code from a reatiler which will only pay my affiliate ID a commision once used?

I take your point that retailer may not be interested giving an exclusive deal for one affiliate only as they could possibly earn lot of sales by others, however, exckusive deal will mean that they are only paying commision to one affiliate only rather than paying everybody...

Anyway,
