I dont use Amazon anymore. Its still there in case I want to use it again one day....

Today I got this email, stating Amazon are going to charge me an account keeping fee!

Dear Amazon Associate -
Greetings from the Amazon Associates Team! We have noticed that it's been over three years since you last referred a unit to Amazon. We are writing to notify you that on July 1, we will be applying a $10 account maintenance fee to your account. Please review this email to learn more on how you can reactivate your accout or avoid this fee by making new payment method choices.

We would like to welcome you back to the Associates Program by re-introducing you to the exciting new products we have launched in the last year. If you refer a unit to Amazon by 5/31/07, the account maintenance fee will not be applied.

aStore gives you the power to create professional online stores that can be embedded within or linked to from your existing Web sites. With no programming required, you can keep visitors on your sites longer and provide them a full shopping experience complete with checkout on Amazon.com.

Because aStore is a dedicated shopping area for your site, it is a great complementary addition to your other advertising and affiliate monetization options.

Product Previews - Enhance. Hover. Expand.

Product Previews provide valuable product information through a cool window into Amazon.com that appears when your site visitors hover over an enhanced link. Product Previews keep interested visitors on your site until they're ready to purchase from Amazon.com without taking up additional valuable real estate. Check out our Product Previews page in Associates Central to learn more about this great feature and see it in action.

Context Links - You create the content. We'll link it.

Earn referral fees without having to manually build links. Currently in Beta, Context Links automatically identifies and links relevant phrases in the content you create to Amazon products. Visit our Context Links page in Associates Central to learn more and install these links on your Web pages.

If you prefer, you may close your Associates account before 5/31/07 and receive payment at the end of July. To close your account, please contact Associates Customer Service directly.

As always, if you have any questions or feedback, please contact Associates Customer Service.

Ye, Amazon is doing that. However, they're only taking it out of your current balance on the associates account. They aren't going to take money out of your bank account. If you don't have enough to cover it, they'll just empty the account.
