Still waiting for bonus

    Hi Everyone,

    I am still waiting for my 5% bonus from the last quarter of 2006.

    They missed it in January and I talked to my affiliate manager then he got back to me saying that indeed they owed me my bonus and that I was going to be paid for it this month. That finance had sorted it out and it was going to be added/consolidated to/with my Feb. payment.

    I check my account today again, and the bonus was still nowhere to be seen.

    Maybe I can get someone's attention here, maybe AlexAzoogle can help me. It has been two months now and I am still owed my 5% bonus which should have been paid last month in January.

    Regards,
    Gibran

    Waldo,

    All affiliates got a 5% bonus on top of their total earnings for the last quarter of 2006 (5% on top of total earnings for October, November and December). I just have not been paid mine yet.

    Cheers
    Gibran

    Who told you that?

    If that is true I am going to take an awesome vacation.

    By the way what February payment are you talking about? It is the middle of February right now.

    It was on the OnTap publishers newsletter. I can't remember which one... I think it was the newsletter around October or November... one of the first ones I received. I checked then with my affiliate manager and asked him how it worked. He said it worked as I explained in my previous reply.

    Then I re-confirmed in January. I joined in October so I do not know if this only applies to new affiliates that joined during the last quarter of 2006.

    I am talking about my January earnings. You receive payments Net 15 (Paid on Feb 15 for January earnings). The bonus was to be consolidated with my January earnings as it wasn't paid to me in January when it was due.

    Regards,
    Gibran

    I have attached the OnTap newsletter mentioned. The bonus is mentioned under the incentive solution section. It is also explained in this paragraph.

    As I mentioned before, I do not know if this bonus applied only to me and other publishers that had just join the network recently at that point as an incentive to start promoting AzoogleAds offers. The incentive definitely worked, as I started promoting Azoogle since then and have been very happy in general with everything; however, I am yet to receive this promised bonus/incentive and it is now the second month when I am supposed to receive it and it hasn't been paid to me yet.

    You can also read this paragraph in the newsletter I have attached (Received on 18/10/2006)

    "Unfortunately, our records indicate that you have full access as a publisher on the network, but there is no activity within your account. The AzoogleAds Network is synonymous with the highest payouts in the industry coupled with flexible payment terms designed for you. I would like to get you started right away and as one-time bonus, you will get AN EXTRA 5% REVENUE BONUS ON ALL OFFERS AVAILABLE ON OUR NETWORK UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2006."

    Hmm...

    My inaugural issue was different than yours and I got a day before, and I did not have that incentive offer in mine. So must have only been for some people.

    Edit:

    Nevermind.. I see what it is now...

    You were not using your account, so they provided a 5% bonus to get you using it. I see in the header of your newsletter it says :

    Yes, and I started promoting my account straight away after the promised bonus :)

    Now, they forgot to pay it to me in January (the bonus). Which is OK, these things happen. I told my affiliate manager and he talked to Finance and they said that they were going to consolidate my bonus with my January earnings and I was going to get it now on the 15th of this month.

    I double checked with my affiliate manager and told him to please make sure finance didn't make the same mistake again and that I would receive my bonus this month. I checked my account and the bonus was not there. So it has not been paid yet.

    The bonus should have been paid on January 15 and still today I have not received it.

    I have emailed my affiliate manager again. I don't want to wait yet another month and find out they have forgotten to pay me the bonus again. I just want this sorted once and for all.

    Regards,
    Gibran

    As far as I know nobody has received single payments for Jaunary yet, so if you get paid once a month on the 15th, it may still be on there. I don't know if it would show up in your account or not. How do you get paid? By check or Direct Deposit?

    Hi Again,

    I get paid by wire. The payment for January is in my account alright. So no complaints there. They always pay on time.
    The only thing that is missing is my bonus, again, for the second time :(

    Maybe they are sending the normal payment and the bonus separately, but then again that doesn't really make sense. Why would they do that? It is more expensive for them to do it that way. Besides I thought they were consolidating both bonus and payment into one.

    I will just have to wait. Thanks for your input.

    Cheers

    Yes, indeed. I did. I just have not received my bonus.

    Azoogle always pays on time another reason why I am also so shocked about still not having received my bonus.

    I live in Australia and I got the payment in my account today. Just without my one-time bonus that should have been paid last month with Dec. earnings.

    I am definitely owed this bonus. That is not the issue.

    I have confirmed everything including amount with my AM and finance. The issue is that I was supposed to be paid in January, and was not paid. And then, I was re-assured that I would receive the bonus along with my payment this month and so far have not received it either. So still have not been paid.

    This just needs to be fixed ASAP.

    Regards,
    Gibran
