Hi Marcia,
With absolutely no disrespect to you, I believe higher management may be hoodwinking you.
I was a former retailer for a satellite provider called Dish Network, this is almost exactly what they did to their retailers, by contacting our customers and offering them special deals for any new customers they sent straight to Dish Network, leaving the retailers out of the loop. This meant loss of activation fees, residuals, etc. They were taking our rightful customers behind our backs.
It does seem odd that JPF was sending out emails with a tag to email addresses that they collected by way of the affiliates websites?
Also mentioned earlier :
“In the future when the cookie no longer counts” has nothing to do with JPF emails being sent out or not.”
I believe it does matter, when the cookie is gone JPF will still have all the email addresses collected by way of the affiliates websites, which translates to future email promotions = JPF gets those players and affiliates get nothing.
Very smart, if JPF waits long enough there won’t be any cookies, tags, etc.
I encourage every Brightshare/JPF affiliate to fill out that drop down spam banner for free gas, using an email address and name that is not in their system and please post back who’s code is that on the email you receive back?
