Today's the big day. Locking my first months sales!

    I started 3 weeks ago and made $480 in sales. Not much but excited to get them locked. Who knows when they usually lock?

    For 3 weeks, $480.00 is great. Congratulations.

    Because this is your first payment you'll have to wait several extra days. So don't get too excited about the 10th being the day everything happens. Most months nothing happens to our account until the 12th or 13th. But it always happens.

    So do us all a favor and try not to get worked up about CJ messing up, ripping you off or your advertisers being crooked if you have to wait a few extra days. If it's legitimate, you'll be paid.

    Again, great job and congrats.

    Well, they locked but only for commissions up to the 31st of last month. I thought they would lock all commissions up to the 10th so instead of $480 locked they locked $340 and I have $140 that will carry over to the next lock period. That sucks because I thought they would lock on commissions up to the 10th. Oh well, I have a good base to start this next pay cycle on I guess.

    They'll only lock the commission until the end of last month.

    My Question:

    In March mine got locked around the 15th or so for February earnings and it stayed in locked (Feb was my first month with them) until the 10th of April and then March also got locked (total over $1k).

    Today when I look at my history, it shows all of the locked commission as "Closed". Does that mean I'm about to get paid? The Locked shows 0.00 now and that amount has moved to the box at the bottom in the run report page.

    Any help would be appreciated
    :)

    This is what my report screen says. This is the bottom box. I am assuming that everything has gone through and this is the amount ready to be paid. Correct?

    Current Balance (April, 2009)
    Beginning Balance $0.00 USD
    Commissions $340.50 USD
    Fees $0.00 USD
    Publisher Payments $0.00 USD
    Total $340.50 USD

    Commissions $340.50 USD Already Paid!!! Just waiting for the sending out of your money!! You are almost in the clear!! LOL If this is your first payment even though the merchant paid, cj will run quality checks of their own prior to issuing your money don't freak out! You may or may not get a letter asking where your traffic comes from best thing be honest and if you made a mistake tell them sorry won't happen again and look for a new method of promoting. Things happen to the best of us and they do understand. sometimes lol.
    Fees $0.00 USD

    Well I am starting to get concerned. Todays the 20th and account says the same thing and nothing. Would it do any good to email CJ and ask what the hell is up?

    You are not getting paid. They probably banned your account for bogus info or something.
