General Information
Who is Food Insurance?
Food Insurance is a leading provider of high quality, gourmet-style food storage and emergency preparedness kits.
How does the Food Insurance Affiliate Program work?
You place links to FoodInsurance.com's home page or specific product page on your Web site. When someone follows those links and makes a purchase, we track that purchase and pay you 10% of the purchase price. Every month, you will receive a check (or direct deposit payment) if your total earnings amount is $25 or more.
Who is Commission Junction?
Commission Junction is an independent affiliate company that tracks your sales and commissions. Having a third party handle our administration means you can trust that your sales totals are accurate, you are provided with great affiliate resources and your commissions are paid in a timely manner. We have partnered with them and are proud to offer their excellent services to all Affiliates.
Tracking and Payment
How are orders tracked and credited to my site?
All links from your site to FoodInsurance.com contain your site's unique Source ID so that every time a user comes to us via your site, we know to credit you when a purchase is completed. Make sure that all links on your site are created using the correct code, as provided by Commission Junction.
How much will I be paid?
Commissions are 10% on every purchase made by someone referred from your Web site(s). For more information on potential earnings, visit our Payment page.
When will I be paid?
You will be paid monthly, if your total account balance for that month is more than $25. If your balance is less than $25 the total amount will be carried to the next month. Once it exceeds $25, a check (or direct deposit) will automatically be sent to you on the 20th of the month for your total earnings.
How long will I receive commissions for referred sales?
Food Insurance has a very generous cookie duration of 90 days. This means that if you send a visitor to FoodInsurance.com who purchases, based on your referral, say two months later, then you will still get 10% commission on that sale.
How will I monitor my sales from day to day?
Commission Junction will provide Food Insurance Affiliate Program members with a unique User ID and Password, so they can access tracking and earnings information.
I operate more than one Web site. Can you track them separately, but pay me with one commission check?
Yes. You can have multiple sites under one Affiliate account. When signing up for Food Insurance's Affiliate Program, just provide the name(s) and URLs of the additional sites. You will then be able to create links specifically for each site and generate separate reports for each site. You will receive one commission payment for all of your sites.
