Re: 125 Proof Names!
Gary Chappelle wrote:Tissa just said on the webinar that he is making another change to allow anyone with a Hostgator, Lunarpages, or StartLogic web hosting account to set up an email in those accounts. So you still need to do the same thing. Set up an email address in your web hosting account. You can then use the forwarding feature to forward all emails to your primary email address. Make sure you set up your new email address in your ACME profile. Then add it to yourPaypal account. Tissa will change the Affiliate agreement to reflect these new changes.
Gary is correct, and I want to further clarify:
The new email address you enter into your APS back office must share the domain name that you used to complete Step 2. So for example, if your domain name under Step 2 is "tissa-people-search.com", then payment will only be sent to [whatever]@tissa-people-search.com.
So the domain name can be registered through GDI, HostGator, Startlogic, JustHost or LunarPages, but the domain name for your email address must be the same domain you used to complete Step 2.
If the domain name for your email address on file is not the same as the domain you used to complete Step 2, you will not be paid. However your earnings will carry over, and will be paid once you have met this requirement.
Although referral fees can be earned by APS accounts that have completed Step 1 only, such referral fees will not be paid until you have completed Step 2 and updated your email address as described above.
This requirement was introduced to reduce fraud using free email addresses (see the beginning of this thread for more details). Thanks for your help in preserving the integrity of the Acme People Search program.

Update - Saturday, August 29, 2009 11:15 AM EDT:
I allowed some extra time for folks to update their email addresses, but all eligible accounts have now been paid ($501,894.00 to date!) As a courtesy, I'll make payments on Monday as well (Aug. 31) for anyone who hasn't had a chance to update their email address per above. The next payment date after that will be Sept. 14, 2009 as regularly scheduled (no exceptions).
If you weren't paid it's either because you didn't update your email address in time (don't worry - your earnings will carry over), you didn't reach the minimum payout threshold of $200 (includes the $125 I give you), or your account was disabled for violating the Terms and/or Referral Program Agreement.
Update - Monday, August 31, 2009 11:40 AM EDT:
To allow extra time to update your email address, I processed another batch of payments ($505,645.00 in APS referral fees paid to date). If you weren't able to update your email address as required, your earnings will carry over to the next regularly scheduled payment date (Sept. 14, 2009). Make sure you have updated your email address by then!

Well I've tried 3 times to update my email on my profile, and followed the instructions on the conformation emails, and when I log into the back office/profile it still has my old email addy....
Boy there sure a lot of hoops to jump through...
