Amazon Associates affiliate program switches from quarterly to monthly payments
I am suprised it took Amazon.com this long to get up to date with standard payment practices. I just recieved this in an Amazon Associates e-mail:
“Beginning January 1, 2007, your Amazon Associates payments will be monthly instead of quarterly, paid approximately 60 days after the end of each month. For example, referral fees you earn in January will be paid at the end of March, and payment of referral fees earned in February will be paid at the end of April. As part of this change, referral fee tiers will be adjusted to reflect monthly instead of quarterly item quantities”
It is just to get more money.
Previously, if you reached the top tier in say the first month, you’d have 2 months of that higher referral rate. Now, not so much.
Then also they switched from net 20, to net 60.
