It seems they are utilizing STALL tactics and I DON'T LIKE IT.
TWO MOTNHS LATER They still have not paid me. WHERE IS MY MONEY AWEMPIRE?
My business partner also has an outstanding payment they never paid him, so the problem isn't unique just Mr. CXA

I really hope nobody nominated them for "Affiliate Program of the Year" for the xBiz 2011 Awards, as they've drug there feet paying me... and other people I know.
"AWEmpire Named XBIZ Summer Forum Platinum Sponsor" .... was it with skimmed affiliate money?

I believe CXA because the same thing is happening to me, right now as me, and another affiliate I referred to AwEmpire as we speak.
I'll be happy to post when I get paid, but after all my time chasing this payment for 2 months is almost not going to be worth it.
If I don't receive payment like I told AwEmpire, I'll have to tell anybody who mentions AwEmpire about my experience and their non-payment... and as I told them, I'm only 26 years old and in this business FOR THE LONG HAUL!

If I'm not paid... I'll be submitting fraudulent processing complaints to VISA and MASTERCARD directly.

With that being said, that's all I'm going to say about that.

I pulled those from my small-but-profitable network of sites as fast as I could. I don't want to send visitors to shady ass affiliates or I'll lose credibility with them and there will be no repeat sales, and without those my business would eventually die due to the lack of trust.

I'm starting to think this is wide spread and now only coming to light because people are hoping to still get paid.... I, myself have been warning AwEmpire rep's I'll go to the boards if I am not paid. They keep promising payment and their time lapses and they promise it again..... FOR TWO MONTHS.
I ask if you are not having an issue yourself please don't try to distract people from the issue at hand. Thanks  |

I still have not been paid.

Brad,
Contrary to your speculation ('trying to stall') lost checks were, in fact, reported by a few of our US affiliates. Unfortunately the check void fees are imposed by the issuing company/bank and the fee has to be passed onto the affiliate.
With all due respect, I don't see how your case compares to that of Neil's. Your check was lost, our accounts payable dept. sent a replacement wire transfer, which only made it to your intermediary bank and could not advance to the destination bank due to one missing field (ABA #). You received an official PDF confirmation from our support staff, that stated your commission was indeed sent. Having said all this, do you
honestly believe in the crusade you've started going from thread to thread stating
AWE doesn't pay, using stall tactics, "Next ePassporte level scandal", submitting fraudulent processing reports to VISA and MC, etc.? Honest question.
I understand you're new to AWE and with the recent closing of many affiliate programs, affiliates are more cautious when it comes to payment issues, but AWE did not open its doors yesterday and our staff has always worked hard to ensure AWE partners receive their payment, whether it is WebmasterChecks funds frozen or ePassporte being shut down, our affiliates received their commissions, even though the payments were made using our own reserves not knowing whether we would be able to recover the frozen funds or not.
Also, please email us information about the flash promo tool issue you mentioned, as we do not have any flash promo tools that open any popups, our team would like to investigate.
Thank you.
