A Quick Comparison of CDNow's and Amazon.com's Commission Plan
•• Amazon.com ••
Amazon.com pays you 15 percent on more than 400,000 titles and 5 percent on more than 1.1
million additional in-print titles, CDs, videos, and other products. Unlike many other
Associates-style programs, we do not require our Associates to meet sales quotas in order to
receive referral fees. We pay 15% for sales of qualifying books you link to individually and
5% on all other qualifying items regardless of how much you sell.
•• CDNow ••
Monthly bonuses are given out to high-producing members. Members can earn all the way up to
a 15% commission for sales that they have generated in a given month. At the end of the month
we will review your Cosmic Credit earnings. The bonus percentage is applied to the sales from
orders that have been shipped as of the end of the month, based on the following chart:
Sales in a Month - Percentage
Under $500.00 - 7%
Over $500.00 - 8%
Over $1,500.00 - 9%
Over $3,000.00 - 10%
Over $5,000.00 - 11%
Over $8,000.00 - 12%
Over $11,000.00 - 13%
Over $14,000.00 - 14%
Over $17,000.00 - 15%
Your account will be bonused the additional credit soon after the end of the month, and a
confirmation email will be sent to you.
Earn more than $100.00 of Cosmic Credit and CDnow will send you a check for your Cosmic
Credit earnings at the end of the calendar quarter (March 31, June 30, September 30 and December
31).
