Back when I started in this business, affiliate programs meant actual payouts. I referred three colleagues to Contabo in December 2024. The referral dashboard showed all three as "confirmed." My credit: zero.
I opened tickets in January, March, and June. Each time, "escalated to billing." Nothing. The terms of service I agreed to in 2019 stated credits apply within 30 days of confirmed referral.
I am not angry, merely documenting. Kids these days accept "dashboard says pending" as an answer. Mark my words, this industry will automate itself into irrelevance. I have screenshots of every confirmation email.
Has anyone else seen resolution on old Contabo referrals, or should I accept this as a lesson and move on?
