Commissions and payouts<\/h3>\n
You\u2019ll earn a sweet 10% commission when a customer purchases a Blue Bolt Gear product using your referral link. Here\u2019s the breakdown of earnings by each license level we sell:<\/p>\n
Solo Quilt 25\u00b0F\/-4\u00b0C sells for $225 \u2013 you earn $22.50
\nSolo Quilt 10\u00b0F\/-12\u00b0C sells for $250 \u2013 you earn $25.00<\/p>\n
We pay out affiliate commissions in USD directly to your bank account or debit card in the first week of every month. As we have a 60-day money back guarantee, we only pay commissions that are older than 60 days. The minimum payout balance is $50.00, so you receive a decent chunk of cash when payouts come around. And there\u2019s no maximum payout balance, so go nuts!<\/strong><\/p>\n In order to receive a payout for your referrals, you must register your bank account or debit card with our payouts service.<\/p>\n We do not allow referrals to be generated on your own purchases. We do not offer recurring referrals.<\/p>\n When a potential customer clicks on your referral link, a cookie is stored in their browser to track your referral. The cookie is then stored for a generous 30 days to give your referred customers time to decide if they wish to purchase the Blue Bolt Gear product, or ask us any pre-sale questions they may have.<\/p>\n A referral won\u2019t be awarded if:<\/p>\n The customer uses a different browser to purchase than the one they originally used to visit our site (because the cookie does not exist in that browser) We use Direct Link Tracking pro add-on, so you can skip the referral link (e.g. ?ref=123 or \/ref\/123) when you link to our site from your https:\/\/ website. You can submit a direct link to your own website in the Settings tab of your Affiliate Area. We\u2019ll review your direct link submission, and when it\u2019s approved you\u2019ll no longer need to use a referral link when linking to blueboltgear.com directly from your site! Awesome!<\/p>\n Note: Direct Link Tracking is only available if your site has an SSL certificate, and therefore the https:\/\/ protocol. We will only approve websites that are 100% owned by you.<\/p>\n Referrals older than 60 days and in good standing (i.e. the purchase has not been refunded) will be included with each commission payout (if the commission balance totals $50.00 or over). If a purchase is refunded, a commission won\u2019t be paid out for that referral.<\/p>\n We reserve the right to reject affiliate commissions for any reason. Commission rejections may occur for the following reasons:<\/p>\n By becoming an affiliate you agree to receive emails from Blue Bolt. These emails will be sent to affiliates only, on an ad-hoc basis, and may include important information regarding the Blue Bolt affiliate program. These emails will also provide you with relevant news and updates to help you effectively promote Blue Bolt. As an affiliate you may be privy to embargoed or time-sensitive information in these emails (this information may only be promoted after an embargo is lifted). And we won\u2019t spam you, ever \u2013 promise!<\/p>\n We reserve the right to reject affiliate applications for any reason. We also reserve the right to choose whether we provide an explanation or reasoning for affiliate application rejection. Below are just a few reasons why an application may be rejected (this is not an exhaustive list):<\/p>\n The following types of sites are not permitted to become an affiliate: adult sites, sites that display adult material or banners, sites that promote violence, hatred or bigotry, sites that promote or engage in illegal activity, including (but not limited to), hacking, cracking, nulled, and warez sites. Affiliate applications for inappropriate websites will be rejected, and we reserve the right to choose whether or not to provide a rejection reason.<\/p>\n When you apply to become an affiliate we may email you at the email address you have supplied with some questions regarding your application. This may be because:<\/p>\n If we reach out to you and we haven\u2019t heard back within 7 days, your application may be rejected. If your initial application is rejected, you are welcome to reapply to become an affiliate and provide us with more detail for reconsideration.<\/p>\n Please don\u2019t leave us! We encourage all of our affiliates to actively promote Blue Bolt to keep earning referrals. If we can help you come up with ideas on how to promote Blue Bolt, please let us know \u2013 we\u2019re here for you! An affiliate account is considered dormant if no visits have been generated after a 6-month period. A dormant affiliate account will be temporarily deactivated if no visits have been generated after 6 months. But we don\u2019t even want to go there right now, right?! Let\u2019s work together to help you start earning some cash!<\/p>\n How you promote Blue Bolt is reflected in the commission you earn!
