Locking Period - Standard Actions lock on the 10th of the month, unless extended. I don't understand what this means ( commisson junction )
It means that the advertiser has until 10th of month to cancel any commission earned in the previous calendar month. They may cancel it for many reasons (bad credit card, bad email, fraud). If these commission are not canceled by 10th, they are locked and you will be receive it. An advertiser can extend period once and for one month. If the advertiser extend your June commission, it won't locked and can be canceled until August 10th. From my experience, only advertiser with a return policy do this. I hope this helps
Locked however doesn't mean you absolutely will be paid the next pay period as the advertiser's sometimes (rarely) don't pay their bills to CJ on time and that can delay payment. Though the top names on CJ this is never an issue, and even if you don't get paid that one month you will be paid the next month. Only a few times in the past have I ever gotten screwed over and it wasn't by CJ but the advertiser themselves screwing everybody including CJ.
Payout locks on 10th of each month, but .. How Extended can show up already now ? Are there some chance that Extended amount will lock on 10th ?
