Thanks Bryan
Yes Greg Powell was the affiliate manager assigned to manage the Cardspike.com account and he was employed by EMG. Unfortunatly, he is no longer employed by the company.
Couple of quick things to note:
1.At CAP and at PAP Greg Powell was listed as the Cardpike.com affiliate manager and made numerous posts so there should not have been any confusion about his working in that capacity.
2. EMG provides consulting services and acts as a master affiliate. Payments to players and affiliates were performed by Cardspike.com in conjuction with the software supplier. Greg, Peter and EMG were not responsible for issuing payments or any delays that DID occur.
3. I believe Greg and Peter tried their hardest to make the best of an uncomfortable situation and service affiliates and get them paid. I know EMG did, but internal data issues at Cardspike.com prevented that from happening.
4. It does appear that CardSpike.com has begun issuing payments to affiliates so hopefully whatever data problems there were have been corrected. Unfortunately due to the slow payments to affiliates and no payment to EMG we can no longer recommend or certify that brand until they are on an even keel for at least a year.
I hope this is helpful and answers any questions affiliates might have.
