Are sky moving to awin exclusively?

[Frostie]

Good question mate. I'm shifting my links now, just incase

[rplumridge]

Hi Guys

Sky are not moving exclusively to Affiliate Window.

Richard

[gunneradt]

can we get the bonus commission if we've sold before on buy.at?

how will they know?

[ian-d]

Digital TV: From the 1st of July the standard installation costs will only be £30 across all products: Standard Sky, Sky+, and even HD Sky+ subscription is now absolutely free for new customers or customers with Movies or Sports

Can you clarify this point please, is this for 'this' july, or has it been copied from 'last' july?

How do you mean £30 installation, then 'free' for new customers or those with premium channels? Does that mean that its only £30 if your an existing customer upgrading? Its a little confused!

[hpops]

wow- thats some serious bonus - good on ya Awin/Sky - should see some links go up for that I'd have thought!

[rplumridge]

Hopefully I can clarify a few things

Launch Incentive
If you have generated a sale for Sky through Buy.at then you will NOT be eligable for this bonus. Sky will of course be liaising with AW and Buy.at when reviewing this.

Additional information
This was July 07. For clarification on all the different pricing please see the Terms and conditions at the bottom of this Sky page

Hope this helps.

Rich

[gunneradt]

leaving me links with buy.at then

[Roaming Badger]

Please please please tell me that this is Awin working direct and not through an agency. Seems to that programmes working through agancies always seem a little less attractive! Think the Buy.at one is through i-level....but if yours is direct you get my vote!!!

[morleymouse]

Best of luck to Awin with this one, a great incentive to grow the affiliate programme and prove themselves rather than just spending a load of sky's cash getting people to move links!

[ian-d]

AWin will hate me for saying this but Buy.at do offer the same incentive.

I never realised that there is an agent in the middle, but either way, never caused me any problems.

[rplumridge]

Just to confirm that the relationship between AW and Sky is direct

LAUNCH INCENTIVE
• 1 sale = £250 bonus
• 5 sales = £350 bonus
• 10 sales = £500 bonus

Given the nature of the site I have in mind, I suspect that 99% of my users will already be Sky customers. Would the above bonus scheme apply for the upgrades below?
i.e. if I can get 10 people to sign up for Sky Talk Freetime, I'd be be looking at £550? (I've never promoted Sky Before).

Sky Digital are also paying commission on customers that upgrade their Sky packages online. This allows a huge amount of scope to push particular products to existing customers:

Sky Broadband Upgrades:

• Broadband Connect - £5
• Broadband Base - £5
• Broadband Mid - £10
• Broadband Max - £15

Product upgrades:

• Sky Plus - £5
• Multi-room £5
• Sky Plus With Multi-room - £10
• Sky HD - £15

Package Upgrades:

• Sky Movies - £10
• Sky Sports - £10
