Esurance has ZERO respect for their affiliates

    They send this email out Friday May 15th after the Business Day has closed. With the DEMAND that terms be accepted Monday Morning (Today).

    They simply have no respect for the Affiliate Marketer to pull this kind of Crap. It takes time for REAL marketers to weed through what they need to do and to make such a short term demand is unprofessional.

    Dear Lowly Affiliate Marketer,

    Esurance has put the terms associated with our campaign into a special Terms and Conditions document on CJ. We have also INCREASED our base payment rate, changed our incentive structure, and are no longer counting repeat conversions. Through these new program terms, we hope to make everyone participating more successful.

    These changes should not impact your earnings with our program.

    Here are our new payment rates:

    1 - 199 quotes = $10.00

    200 - 499 quotes = $10.33

    500 - 999 quotes = $10.67

    1,000 - 1,499 quotes = $11.33

    1,500 - 1,999 quotes = $12.00

    2,000 - 2,999 quotes = $12.67

    3,000 or more quotes = $13.33

    In order to continue you participation in the Esurance Affiliate Program you MUST accept the new Program Terms.


    The Terms and Conditions as well as the new Payment rates will be rolled out to you Monday morning, May 22. In order to continue earning your commissions uninterrupted, you MUSTaccept the new Program Terms Monday morning.

    The affiliate team at Esurance is dedicated to your success in the Esurance affiliate program. We are here to provide you every opportunity to succeed, so please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns about this change.

    What's the big deal? Esurance raised the payout on the base & for each level. The only thing that they're not doing anymore is paying for repeat commissions (which is a huge source of fraud). Yes, they asked for you to accept the terms ASAP - but I'm pretty sure that they won't kick anyone out for not accepting it by Monday morning (I'm still in there, and I haven't accepted it yet).

    Surprising that they're increasing the payout at the same time they've had budget cuts...
