Hi C:
no answers …. but I feel your pain. I think same has happened to me. Part my reason is I use a hotmail addy for my aff stuff but I use it because i know it will always work …. no matter how many years down the line.
I made mistake of having some addys when I first started … that were domains that I ended up losing because I had bought them thru a domain registar that wasn’t there come time to re-new .. and I couldn’t figure out how to get them re-newed .. before they fell into the open market.
lost some decent domains and learned a lesson. I now only buy domains at godaddy because i know it will be there come time to re-new.
what I have done is when i couldn’t get a reply from an aff program … I contacted them via PM thru CAP or other aff forums I belong …
or I’d call them. Seems once they got your email addy added to their “okay” list … I never had a problem after that.
hope it helped some.
