Affiliate program owners... Do you send your top affiliates holiday gifts?

I'm just surprised they didn't even send out cards. Its a US based company that is unquestionably generating untold millions

up till 2008 it was great (xboxes, macbooks, watches, baskets, ipods, etc etc) after 2008 not soo much anymore lol

We did get a few cards, cookies and champagne though

That honestly makes me feel better. Thanks.

Usually we do but this year decided to wait until February for the Tranny Awards and try to get some of them out for it - and then send them swag after either from the show or other goodies.

We send out Amazon gift cards. Everyone seems to appreciate them, webmasters can get whatever they want with them.

[V_RocKs]

Same as Roald...

Pre-2008 I used to get:

Free Internext Passes
Free Internext flights/rooms
Free iPods
Free hosting
Free Stats Remote for a year
Free Amazon gift certificates
Free sports tickets
Free swag like t-shirts, hats, cups, mouse pads
Free laptop
Free time with a designer

This year... A few cards... a gift certificate... that is about it.

[KingNigel]

This year I only got a card or two.

HELLO!
I see you forget so quick !

We did send some gifts to our affiliates, but seems they don't appreciate them as much.
I even saw someone posting on Facebook and asking if he should say thanks to sponsors for gifts or if they are suppose to send a gift.

[ShellyCrash]

Even w/ less gifts going out, I suppose its an improvement over years prior when some programs weren't even sending checks

I used to get gift baskets from a sponsor every year. Now that I don't do as much affiliate work and just do mostly writing, I get a card now lol.
