Have your credits/chargebacks gone nuts with AFF?
 

If you send to AFF's percentage program, check your chargebacks and credits for november, december, and january. Post in here if they tripled in december, and then almost doubled again in january.

I've always done 5 figures monthly with AFF, but when chargebacks & credits are now 4 figures monthly, we have a problem.

When chargebacks/credits are more than my member bonus for sending over 14k joins last month, we have a real fucking problem :mad:

I don't promote dating but it's my understanding that site is full of fake profiles so I would think it's just a matter of time before we hear more stories like this.

Here's a bump for you though.

That's every dating site.

not for me but I'm not sending nowhere near the traffic you are, only had one month with a few hundred $$ in chargebacks, think it was Nov last year, since then it's been all good

nope, but we're 1:9000+ with them so.....

and as soon as I posted this some juice ones appeared in my stats

Yes.

About $105k in sales and near $7k in chargebacks.

That's near 6.5% in chargebacks... not good. But I don't care much for now.

What really pisses me is that their flv player for tube sites doesn't support streaming, so there are more chances that I will change them only for that reason.

Interesting idea, thx.

I haven't pushed pct traffic to this account in ~18 months which really rules out this fake profile nonsense. And I'm pretty sure this isn't going to be AFF specific.

Here are my #s anyway:

Sep 1.26%
Oct 2.58%
Nov 6.76%
Dec 3.51%
Jan 5.85%

I will never promote dating sites. They are indirectly stealing money from the gullible surfer.

lol whatever :thumbsup

Yup. :thumbsup I make money promoting products that the surfer wants and delivers what they expect.

Just had a look. Nothing unusual very low percentage, just over 1%.

Have you guys signed up for the site lately and tested? Might be worth doing. Maybe they are overcharging or adding on cross sales. I had a sponsor who had their chargebacks go up big time one month and I noticed they started dealing heavily in cross sales.

Despite a weak economy, chargebacks jumping that much is not natural. Something is causing it.

For a side company I run our chargebacks are up 3x since the "economy" is bad. People get more sympathy from visa/mc now and win more too. People are just learning how to get shit for free now and exploiting it. It's nuts.
Lots of others have confided the same with me also.

All dating sites get major chargebacks, often months later when surfers smarten up.

I don't use AFF

I noticed today in particular I had a lot of chargebacks to both PPS and revshare accounts. Definitely a lot higher than I was expecting. I don't even remember having many CB's on my revshare account but today I noticed a lot for January. It seems like they all hit today or something.

I got one chargeback of $ 1914.62 Cents slipping in my stats 2 days ago

I am stunned

Wow, thats insane.
WG

i don't have problems :)

Tell me, it completely crash my good mood for today.

Wow, well it doesn't surprise me given that the company who runs it, ruined iBill.

Can you give details on this?

That's an absurd amount of money to chargeback, I'd be asking questions about that.

already dropped some off liners. I will wait till Monday

wtf :helpme

For today? Damn, that would have me crashing my good mood for a MONTH! :2 cents:

That would affect my working mood. I`m used to unexpected dramas regarding my work. Nevertheless, i seen it yesterday 10 minutes before i crawled into my bed laying me down next to my girl, and i asked her to not use my card this week :) she understood

The blue line down, i hate to see it... nevertheless, financial crisis i think. People spend like a animal and charge back like an angel.

Nah there are legit ones out there.

I joined their site because they have a bdsm lifestyle forum for people looking to model. I set my account to cancel at the end of the billing, and it would suddenly go back to auto renew every time I'd log out. That happened for 3 months straight, until I cancelled the card it was on. No one ever bothered to write me back when I wrote to them about it. I should have charged the whole thing back, but I waited for a response and then forgot about it.

Times must be getting tough for AFF.

For more sponsors it is like that. They are no exception

maybe now with ppl losing their jobs they're CB'ing multiple months worth of memberships :/ wouldn't surprise me 1 bit tbh
