Approval Process

Chargebacks & Reversals

Commissions may be reversed (charged back) when the underlying transaction is cancelled, returned, or found to be improper.

Chargeback Triggers

  • Gift code cancellation (unredeemed) — Full commission reversed
  • PRS refund issued — Commission on that sale reversed
  • Fraudulent purchase — Commission reversed + possible sanctions
  • Customer dispute upheld — Commission reversed
  • Compliance violation — Commission may be forfeit entirely

How Chargebacks Are Processed

  1. Identification — Company identifies reversal trigger
  2. Calculation — Original commission amount determined
  3. Deduction — Amount deducted from next commission payment
  4. Notification — You're notified of the adjustment

Negative Balances

If a chargeback exceeds your available commission:

  • Creates a negative balance on your account
  • Future commissions apply to balance first
  • Withdrawal blocked until balance resolved
  • Persistent negative balances may trigger review

Chargeback Protection

To minimize chargebacks:

  • Ensure customers understand what they're purchasing
  • Don't pressure people into purchases
  • Verify customer intent before gift code redemption
  • Report suspicious activity immediately

Tax Reporting (1099)

IAs are independent contractors responsible for their own taxes. US-based IAs earning $600 or more annually receive a 1099-NEC form, issued by January 31 of the following year.

Important:

  • You may owe taxes even if no 1099 issued
  • Consult a tax professional for advice
  • Keep records of all earnings and expenses

Important Notes

  • Commissions must be approved before credit
  • Primary Wallet is withdrawable (with limits)
  • Bonus Wallet converts to CSR (week 44+)
  • Maintain good standing for timely pay
