Overview

The TrekMail affiliate program uses a three-tier commission structure. Your tier determines the percentage of each qualifying payment you earn. All new affiliates start at Tier 1 and can be upgraded by the TrekMail team as their performance develops.

Commission tiers

Tier Commission rate Who is here
Tier 1 30% All new affiliates on approval
Tier 2 35% Promoted by admin based on performance
Tier 3 40% Promoted by admin based on performance

How commissions are applied

Your commission rate is applied to each qualifying payment made by a customer you referred. The ledger records the commissionable amount after the payment-processing fee allocation, then applies your rate to that amount.

Commissionable net amount × your rate = your commission

The rate that applies is the rate active on your account when the customer pays. If your tier is upgraded during a customer's 12-month revenue-share period, the new rate applies to later qualifying payments. The Commissions tab shows the net amount, rate, and resulting commission for each entry.

Tier 1: 30%

Every affiliate starts at Tier 1 upon approval. There is no waiting period. Your first qualifying commission is calculated at 30%.

Tier 2: 35%

Tier 2 upgrades are made by the TrekMail team at their discretion. There is no fixed threshold (for example, a set number of conversions per month) that automatically triggers a review. The team evaluates:

  • Conversion volume and consistency over time
  • The quality and fit of referred traffic
  • Engagement with the program (active use of links, promotional activity, content quality)

If you believe you may be eligible for a tier upgrade, you can contact support to request a review. Include a brief description of your promotional activity and channels.

Tier 3: 40%

Tier 3 follows the same process as Tier 2. Upgrades are made individually based on sustained, high-quality performance. Reaching Tier 2 does not guarantee a Tier 3 upgrade. Each decision is made separately.

Add-on commission rates

Two add-ons earn commission at their own rate, separate from the tier table above:

  • Drive Storage Add-on: a separate scale based on the customer's monthly spend, currently 5% to 20%. The exact rate is shown on each commission in your dashboard.
  • White Label Add-on: a flat 15% commission, recurring on the add-on subscription for the same 12-month revenue-share window as plans.

Email Verifier credit purchases earn at your normal tier rate.

A note on tier upgrades

Tier changes are not automatic and are not based on a published score or points system. If you are producing consistent, high-quality referrals over time, contact support with a short overview of your channels and results if you would like a review.

How your current tier is shown

Your current tier and rate are displayed on the Overview tab of your affiliate dashboard, next to your account status.
