I know how you feel , theres some programs that i sent them xxx,xxx in profit , and did not even receive a christmas card . It sucks not even getting a thank you once a year .
I just realized…. Mine was a monthly number… for that particular program the number is $xxx,xxx per year. Yeah – a card IN THE MAIL would have been a nice touch from some of the programs we make money from.
Maybe they will understand this next year.
Freecc, I did not mean to offend you with my previous post.
Anything else has been mentioned in this thread already so… Happy Holidays!
It’s the personal touch that makes the difference.
The industry can’t be so hard up that they can’t afford to send a post card.
Perhaps US affiliates aren’t considered worth the investment under the current political circumstances.
That is faulty thinking, the internet is global and affiliates who do well in one country can do just as well in another.
Anyway, thanks to those programs who remembered their affiliates and reached out to touch us. :hattip:
Dont forget most gifys come between Christmas and New years as well guys, even a bit after the new year!
13th december did i reciece a message from DHL.com about the have try to delivery me a packet from A.R. Loyalty, New York , but when i phone them next day to get my packet, the couldent find it an said it was gone forever.

.Agree with the first point – but a personal mail is appreciated as much as a card.

I don’t think it’s US affiliates Dom – I haven’t seen anything this year.
But basically I don’t really expect anything (or want it) and to see people railing and complaining against not getting something is a little bit weird to me.
Look it’s a business – and they’re paying significant commissions – and I appreciate that. Thank you very much for your business relationship.
Related subject.We did get a delicious hamper basket unexpectedly in mid-year. I was a tasty surprise and we thanked the AM directly via email.
Unfortunately (as I expected) the basket then came with a hard push to give the program more exposure, higher placements and better reviews.
The AM had read “hard ball selling 101” was trying to leverage off the $200 gift to get thousands of dollars worth of exposure – almost but not quite stating “look we sent you a food parcel” …
:sarcasm:My relationship with the program is now at a low ebb – because they did not understand why I said No.
And it’s THAT experience that makes me say – send an email or card by all means – but sending anything bigger is suspisciously like trying to attach strings.
i have not received anything and dont want anything either.
I got my greeting cards and am more than happy with that! so, thank you to all the program who have taken the effort to send out holiday greeting cards
Thanks for the chocolates, Slotocash! :3eyes:

Exactly, people that omplain because they didnt get as much as X or programs that expect somthing in return are all bad, its all about a tiny reward to make people happy if they performed well for a said program. I didnt get a lot of things other didnt but hell how can you complain about a free gift?
just take these for what they are and have fun!!

This is true for me too. I got a few invitations to some vacation trips but turned them down. I might be paranoid but I don´t want to get me in a situation where I´m told that I have to give something back in case of better spots and nicer reviews because I got a larger gift or something like that. This would destroy the reason I got involved in this busines in the first place. I want to have 100% control over my websites.
:santa2:Just received a “Happy Holidays” card from CasinoCoins with a gift of few hundred bucks from Nick Yap and Ko. Nice … Thanks and Happy Holidays to everyone!

In the name of ALL our affiliates, we have made donations to the following causes:

Roberto Primi, Italian Affiliate ManagerI got a bottle of champers from Jackpot Joy and cash from CasinoCoins so thank you very much guys – much appreciated. I did not expect it .

This world of ours is in so much trouble these days from Wars to the environment its great to see the guys giving back a little and trying to make a difference . WELL DONE GUYS
Have a great New Year guys – i am looking forward to 2008
We were treated to a train trip on Rovos Rail and dinner by Piggs Peak South Africa and got a lovely framed photo at the end and a huge hamper. ( They tend to spoil us all year though …but we are also big players there so that may be it )
Cpays sent a lovely desk set of ornaments and a T shirt
There may be a few more but I haven’t been to the Postbox since the first week of December !!
Lots of E Greetings too which was nice but it still doesn’t beat the old fashioned Christmas card
