Hi -

It's Doug here, the owner of PinupDollars. First off, let me say that we ALWAYS pay our bills and always pay our affiliates on time. We've been in business for almost 14 years now and I run a REALLY tight ship and if there's any issues with anything, you can always email me personally at [email protected] and I will address it with you directly.

That said, there was an issue with both Hotmail and Gmail blocking our email responses to anyone who had Hotmail or Gmail accounts. This went on for several months before we discovered it and the good news is that it has now been resolved by our hosting company and their network guys, which is why (if any of you had an account through them) you likely didn't get any of our responses, as Brandie is always on top of things and gets back to all our affiliates right away. Furthermore, we have our general [email protected] email that works as well.

Frank, I don't know specifically what your situation was but hopefully it was resolved with this email correction. If it was not, let me know. So we are perfectly clear on this, our payment periods start on the 1st and 16th of each month and we send out all checks to any affiliate over the $50 minimum within a few days after the 30th/31st of each month and the 16th or each month. So if you're counting days, give it about 5 business days or so from the 1st of the month (i.e the 5th or 6th) and the middle of the month (the 20th or 21st) to receive your checks and if you are outside the U.S., it will obviously take a bit longer.

We also MUST have W9s on every single affiliate with a US payment address, so if you are in a different country (it looks like you are in Canada) and you changed your mailing address at some point recently from a Canadian one to a U.S. one, that's why the checks stopped coming. We also send out emails to everyone who doesn't have a W9 with us on file to let them know this, and we're also now going to start sending out hard copy snail mail letters with every check to let everyone know this as well.

Lastly, let me just say that posting half-cocked, zero-evidence threads about other people's programs isn't cool, and the rest of you (Abby) passing judgment on us based on allegations that aren't true is really bad form. I'm sure Roald and our other affiliates can attest to this.

Abby, I inquired about a couple of your models because we have one of the best, and highest caliber model rosters on the web and there's a good reason for that -- because we run a top shelf organization and treat our models and affiliates and customers really well, so please don't go around spreading stuff that isn't true.

Thanks for reading.
