Hello guys I've just received this from the A C guys.
Its a letter Brad Fallon sent with the first round of checks sent and i'll quote him here:
"
Thanks for your help in promoting the Arbitrage Conspiracy!
Now, the fun part . . . I get to pay millions of dollars in affiliate commissions for the biggest Internet Marketing launch in recent history. It’s a pleasure – and you also get a seriously big thank you for making it possible!
Personally, I hate it when affiliate commissions are paid later than necessary, or worse, later than promised. So for this very special launch, I decided to start paying your affiliate commissions early. J
Normally, we would wait until all the customers were past the 30-day refund period. And then longer for all the “accounting” and double-checking for accuracy, etc. But I wanted to get some checks in the mail sooner, so the enclosed check includes the sales that were past their 30-day refund period as of January 21st. Keep in mind, since the cart was open until well into January, with a big push at the very end, there are probably a lot more commissions coming! Plus, more than half of the customers chose the 3-pay option, so you’ll be getting checks after month two and month three as well.
The next check will also include all the detailed reporting for the whole first month, so you can see exactly what you’re being paid and why.
Specifically, the enclosed check should include all of the 1-pays and the first month’s commission on the 3-pays that were past the 30-day refund period as of January 21st. After all of the customers are past the initial 30-day refund period, I’ll send you another check for the rest of the 1-pays and the rest of the 3-pays for the first month, and the detailed reporting on sales, refunds, etc., for the whole first month.
Another thing that often holds up your affiliate commissions is the W-9’s (or W-8’s) for tax-exempt foreign entities that we need to get from everyone we pay. Instead of waiting to get that, I’m going ahead and sending the enclosed checks to get some money out my hands and into yours ASAP. I just ask that you fill out a W-9 (or W-8, for foreign entities that are exempt from having a U.S. tax ID number) and fax it to me before the next check can be sent.
You can get a pdf of the W-9 U.S. tax ID form by just searching W-9 on Google (or W-8 if that applies to you).
Please print out a W-9 (or W-8) and fax to me at . Or you can scan it and email to me at . Either way is fine, but I will need this before I can send your next check – thanks!
Thanks again, and please call or email me if you have any questions.
