Hostgator Affiliate Scam

vivalafeva · Dec 9, 2015

So,

Hostgator owes me money. Even if they wanted to just say we aren't paying you that would be one thing. but they haven't even replied to my emails in over 2 weeks. Just reversed my commissions, saying they aren't owed to me. Even though I can see the referrals sites are still up. So they are obviously paying the hosting.

STAY AWAY FROM HG AFFILIATE PROGRAM AS IF IT WAS THE PLAGUE. I email them every couple days just asking them to explain the situation or even reply to me. There is no phone support. It seems to be a scam to me at this point.

Are they marked as "Invalid"? I know that if someone clicks your link and is already a customer, once their current invoice is paid (within the cookie period), they are linked to your account but won't be paid.

range of things, the oddest one is "reset to original value" which i cant guess what that means. My biggest problem is that they literally wont respond to my emails for weeks now

Have you tried calling them? You'll be on hold for a solid 20+ minutes but eventually you'll get to someone.

hostgator is one of the biggest mainstream hosting company, but their support sucks!

I don't think that they are scam. Because I have been paid by them a lot of times. It's definitely not a scam.
