Ever Try Sapphic Cash's "Free" Hosting - GoFuckYourself.com

18teens · 08-06-2007, 06:06 PM

I'll admit I only brought Sapphic Cash $20,000.00 in sales/rebills but that's mostly because they stopped converting well for me. I saw that Sapphic Cash offers free hosting so I thought I'd try them out again. I have over 50 sites hosted all over the world, all on paid hosts, so I don't need free hosting at all.

So I e-mailed them explaining my plan, a low bandwidth site, all text, primarily for search engines, with only their hosted galleries.

This is what I got back after bringing in over $20,000.00 in sales/rebills:

"Affiliates are required to bring in a minimum number of sales per month to qualify for free hosting. Unfortunately, your sales volume do not meet the criteria and we cannot offer you free hosting at this time."

I only brought in $20,000.00 in sales volume and I don't want or need free hosting from Sapphic Cash.

My response to Sapphic Cash:

Gee, I'm sorry, I didn't know that only your "important" affiliates qualify for free hosting. For your information, I have been responsible for over $20,000.00 in sales to Sapphic Cash over the years. That was mostly at CC Bill though, before you switched over NATS, before your program began converting poorly for me, before I started pulling your links.

I don't need free hosting, never did, never will. I have over 50 sites hosted all over the world and all paid for in full on several paid hosts. I just thought I'd take advantage since you were offering it and throw your program some hits to see if it could begin converting better for me

This is what I saw on your site (and it is a verbatim quote)
"We don't want you to worry about large hosting bills when you promote SapphicCash, so we give you access to unlimited free hosting and we pay the cost! Just another way we make doing business with SapphicCash easy for you!"

And this is what you wrote to me:
Affiliates are required to bring in a minimum number of sales per month to qualify for free hosting. Unfortunately, your sales volume do not meet the criteria and we cannot offer you free hosting at this time"

Gee, I'm sorry I only brought in $20,000.00 in sales. Unfortunately, Kerry, you are an ass.

And their response:

Thanks for your reply.

We used to offer free hosting to all affiliates. I will pass on to management the fact that need to revise the wording now this is no longer the case. Thank you for brining this to our attention.

Unfortunately, we have a set criteria that we are able to offer Free Hosting to affiliates. We are sorry that this has caused ill feeling and has evoked this response from you.

I am happy to put your request forward to Bailey for special consideration, although I cannot guarantee the outcome. Let me know if you would like this to happen.

Please let us know if we can help you with anything else.
