Commission Soup and Credit Soup are part of the same affiliate network that specializes in offering financial related products.
One of the beefs I have with some stand-alone programs, as well as with some affiliate networks, is their requirement that affiliates be U.S. citizens or operate sites that promote products only to other U.S. citizens. I've always wondered why it matters where a site is based if I can direct U.S. citizens to their site.
Fortunately, companies like Commission Soup understand that Internet marketing is a worldwide activity. Commission Soup is a network that sells credit card offers exclusively to U.S. citizens, but it doesn't discriminate against non-US webmasters who want to promote its products as affiliates as do some other networks. In fact, Commission Soup accepts affiliates from all over the world, with the stipulation that, "All of our programs (U.S. credit card offers) are only available to U.S. citizens, so you will need to have a site that markets to the U.S." Hurray! A site where sanity prevails.
Commission Soup has very strict guidelines when it comes to email marketing. So strict in fact, I wouldn't bother going the email route with them unless I had a lot of time to spare.
Here's the blurb from their site:
Guidelines for Approved Opt-In Email Lists
Prior to starting any type of email, enewsletter, etc. campaign, you MUST email us at [email protected] with the dates of the drop. Include the number being sent and type of campaign with an attachment of what is being sent (approved text only).
Making contact when necessary is quick and easy with their 1-800 number.
Signup restrictions are minimal, including the rights not to accept sites that are international marketing sites, poorly designed, poor quality sites, adult sites that promote pornography or sexual material of a lewd, lecherous or obscene in nature or intent.
