Do you think Amazon will every have tiered Holiday bonuses? That would be nice. Many other affiliate programs do this for the months of November and December. Or a contest would be nice to. I wish Amazon would try to "inspire" their affiliates more. I would be much more willing to put more into the Amazon affiliate program if this happened.
I believe that last year they increased their payments around the holiday season. 6% or 8% instead of the usual 4% if I remember correctly.
