What are locked commissions in CJ? Are they commissions that will be paid in next payment cycle, or what? I'm thinking they are commissions that were reviewed and are legit and will be paid, is that right?
Yes, locked means they will be paid out on your next cheque. Usually there is a 30 day hold on sales commissions to make sure they are legit and the product is not returned ect. After that they are locked.
Hey hows it going! I will give you a run down of what all the statuses are in you cj reports page it is a bit confusing but I hope you understand, if you don't feel free to message me and I will help you out. Commission Junctions reports page consists of 5 very important areas 1st is your pending area this is money that you have made hopefully in the current month, some advertisers have special terms and will only pend for 10 days while some pend for 60 days you really need to read the terms of service of each of your merchants you are promoting, but about 93% of merchants have the standard locks on the 10th which means they will stay pending until the 10th of the next month. 2nd is locked, this means the merchant now owes you the money and they did not "extend, or reverse it" when your money hits this point it is still not guaranteed that you will be paid but most likely you will. As now a days I am seeing more merchants go "under" if you need help with this status dm me i will help you out in detail if you had a "locked" money for more that 2 months. 3rd is extended, we all hate this, if you have money here for any reason contact the merchant not cj, this means they have put a hold on paying you and you need to know why NOW so that you may correct it either by finding another merchant who is honest or changing your methods or it is just a normal security check (some merchants say in the TOS like "monster" that they will extend it, so again please read every merchant you are promotings Terms of Service!!!) 4. Beginning Balance if you have any monies in this section congrats it is going to be paid as the merchant has paid cj! you will recieve it on the next payout, remember merchants have people working for them and some people in this world payout late lol. 5. Commissions! THis is my favorite one it is the money that is going to be paid to me as the merchants have paid cj and all is well!!!! good job! 6. I know I said 5 but well i can't count and I am a liar as this one is actually my favorite one well could be tied for first naww this is my fav it is..... Publisher payments, you have been paid it should look like this ($3532.92) in parenthases. If you have direct deposit then it should be in your bank within 3-5 business days depends on your bank. And if you get a check it should be to you in 2 weeks or so. hope this helped a bit if you have any questions please im i will discuss in detail more !!! Jodyq
