    Anyone else have AWEmpire "charge back" all their $222 PPS sales at the last minute?

    I was looking forward to a great payment from AWEmpire for the period of Jun 1 - 15. What I was surprised to receive, however, was a fraction of the amount shown in the statistics as recently as Friday. On Saturday I received a payment that was less than a 1/4 of what had been owed to me, and today the stats are changed to show it almost all "charged back."

    To me it just seems strange that at the very last moment, when a payment is made, stats are suddenly adjusted with a massive unexplained "charge back." Suddenly $222 PPS doesn't look so good any more.

        $222 PPS - did you really expect to get paid so much for so little?

        I see promos like that, so avoid them like the plague.

        Spend you some brain.

            I checked and while its not as drastic as yours, I had the same thing happen. Then again i am to blame, I heard they were dodgy and pushed them anyway.

              Never had a major problem with AWE, with my personal sites 1:200 ratio at worst, if you take the time to look into the $222 PPS campaign and how there system works you will understand why they can afford to pay that amount out and the reasons for doing so... That is why anyone that has been promoting AWE for a long period of time with any success will always stick to REVS and never PPS no matter what... unless you want to make a fast buck and fuck off...

              No complaints here... Just speaking as I find guys that is all

                It's happened again!? "Whoops...AWE Pressed the Wrong Button"

                Seriously though, even $70-$100 PPS promos was a lot back in the day. $222, especially given the current conditions of the adult biz and processing restrictions, is insane!

                Makes one wonder how can AWE afford that - likely they can't and hence all the disqualified signups / credit reversals.

                    What is the PSID's though ? .. I have looked into this also and found a couple to be genuine AWE staff PSID's and others to be just Affiliate accounts ?

                        It's pretty safe to assume that most of AWE's top "affiliates" are internally controlled.

                        Companies do things like this because affiliates let them.

                        Does anybody ever ask for proof of chargebacks?

                        The timing of these seems very fortunate (for AWE).

                            Just got a $40 charge back out of the whole 2 sales I sent them. Pretty high charge back ratio. I rarely get any charge backs.

                                      I dont pushed them more then regularly after this promo. just iframes in sidebars. so thats a little bit strange. And yeah it was nice to get 222 then 40$ signups
                                      all those promos from Imlive with 300$ and awe 222$ sounded little bit fishy but if they want to do that why not

                                                Man is there a single site/program you do make sales with? Seems like every thread about a program you are there saying how bad they are, maybe the shitty ratios is due to shitty traffic?

                                                    I still can't get over the tier1 referral I had, that made me almost $2,000 in one month and then.... gone! Reason: "he probably moved to another program...."

                                                    Problem is, awe is still my sexond best sponsor so I can't afford dropping them as no other cam prog makes any $ for me...

                                                      ok half of you telling to use revs cause you will make big bucks with it. But I am comfortable when I get those shitty 222$ per sale. And I think the AWE is the winner if we pick a PPS. they get all the whales we sent that was the deal with this promo.

No catch here, as long as the person you brought is new (matches the PPS requirements) and buys a package of at least 29.99 credits, we'll pay out $222 PPS. you can review the rules on this page: http://www.awempire.com/adult-affili...ster-benefits/ Any affiliate is free to do a test signup as long as they let us know afterwards.

                                                                            AWE's Lifetime+ was introduced last year.
