Can someone explain how CJ payouts work ?

    I have $199.69 in my account now (my first month !) but its all listed under Pending Commissions and "New". When does it convert to a payout ? Is that "Locked" status ?

    The add states that the Action Referral Period is 30 days and that the "Actions lock on the 10th of the month".

    I just am not getting what all that means :confused:

    pending means the sale from the person who clicked your ad hasn't gone through.
    I just get checks every month from cj

    No...

    Pending means that the commission has been recorded, but the merchant has until the 10th of the following month (or whatever locking date the merchant lists) to reverse or decrease the commission due to something like a return. Once commissions change to "Locked" around the 10th of the following month, that means that it's in line for payment, and you will receive your payment around the 20th-25th of the month.

    OK that makes sense ... so everything until the end of the month is reviewed on the 10th then locked and set to pay nearer the end of the month ? Or would the "lock" include everything up and until the 10th ?

    Thanks all, I am anxiously awaiting my first CJ payment and making plans in re-investing it to double my income next month !

    Commissions made in May or Extended Commissions from April-
    Lock on June 10th.
    Commissions locked on June 10th are paid out usually by June 25th
