I took this off when it paused and thought it might come back with better commission. I don't think it's worth promoting at a min. of £10 per sale.

Petguard has just launched on AW for min. £25

I agree £10 isn't the best commission for pet insurance but I insured my dog through them because they was very reasonable and it offered just what I needed. For that reason I will personally be adding them, i'd rather earn £10 from someone who gets what they are looking for than them just leaving my site and going elsewhere. Some of those Insurance companies paying a lot more commission often have higher premiums and the quotes are not very appealing and I am pretty sure that will lower conversion anyway...

I disagree

there are many more pet insurance providers now and £10 commission is a rip off - their premiums are no lower than the others.

Hi All,

Marks and Spencer have re-launched with us after changing their pet insurance provider to RSA, this should mean the rates are more competitive which should mean you see more sales converting.

Because of the brand Marks and Spencers hold, people are naturally drawn to them as they are well trusted. The Marks and Spencer Pet Insurance product is also a very appealing offer as their policy is for life, meaning that they will continue to insure the pet even during ongoing illness.

The commissions Marks and Spencer pay to affiliates are the peak of their CPA, so unfortunately there is no budget to stretch this further. The current conversion on this programme is 4% and we are confident this will grow as the campaign develops further.

Many thanks

I can't see that they are any more trusted than tesco who are rather mean when it comes to commission - and even they pay £17
