Zero Tolerance Spam Policy. Spam is defined as any unsolicited email whether commercial or non-commercial in nature.
Spam includes, but is not limited to email spam, fax spam and search engine spam. All affiliates are expected to adhere to a strict no-spam policy.

Any affiliate that engages spam or in promoting prohibited products or services in connection with their site in any way shall have their affiliate account terminated and could lose any or all affiliate commissions due to them. The site owner also shall be held liable for any and all damages and/or losses that may result as a consequence.
How Commissions are Calculated. You earn a 20% commission on net revenues (defines as gross revenues fewer taxes and postage) minus 35 cents for purchases via your Thankster.com affiliate link.
Note: If Thankster.com must refund a customer purchase you received a commission for, the commission you earned for that purchase will be subtracted from future commission earnings. Refunds can occur due to various reasons such as fraud credit card purchases, suspicious orders, bank chargebacks, etc.
Currently, we pay affiliates their commissions using either PayPal or by checks once the earned amount exceeds $25.
