Introduction
You can view, join, and accept advertiser offers in your Publisher Dashboard.
As you review the offers available to you, keep the following in mind:
- You can only participate in one public or private offer at a time per advertiser.
- You can choose more than one special offer in addition to the public or private offer you are already in. However, once you opt into an active special offer, you cannot opt out of it. Learn more about special offers.
- You can join an upcoming offer that starts in the future without affecting the offer you are currently in.
- You can join multiple offers if their dates and times do not overlap.
View Offers
To view offers that are available to you, either:
- Run a search, or
- Access the Offers tab of an advertiser's profile page. You can find full offer details there, including its expiry date and time and commission rates and rules. Learn more about the information available in the Offers tab.
Note
If you are not partnered with an advertiser, you can only view their public baseline offer.
Join an Offer
The actions you can take on a public offer depend on your partnership status with the advertiser.
Any offers an advertiser partner has made available to you are listed in their Offers tab. You can view active, upcoming, and special offers and take the following actions:
- Switch from your current active offer by clicking the radio button corresponding to the other active offer you want to join.
- Join an upcoming offer by clicking the checkbox corresponding to that offer. Once that offer becomes active, the system will switch you from your current offer to that offer.
- Join a special offer, whether active or upcoming, by clicking the checkbox corresponding to that special offer.
In all three cases, you must accept the offer’s Terms and Conditions to proceed. See the Offer Terms and Conditions section below for more information.
You will see a confirmation message on the top right of the page once you have joined an offer.
If you are not partnered with the advertiser, you must apply to join their program to participate in their offers.
Accept Extended Offers
Advertisers can extend private offers to you. This happens when a new advertiser wants to recruit you into their program, or a partnered advertiser makes special terms available to you.
When an advertiser extends a private offer to you, you are notified in the Notifications tab in your Publisher Dashboard and via email. The offer will be displayed in the Offers tab and the Private Offers page.
You are then responsible for accepting or declining the private offer, as you will not automatically participate in an offer that is extended to you.
Offer Terms and Conditions
When you click to join an offer, you are prompted to review the advertiser’s Terms and Conditions. These vary per advertiser, so read the Terms and Conditions thoroughly.
You cannot participate in the offer unless you check the checkbox to indicate that you accept the Terms and Conditions:
You will be notified via the Notifications tab in the dashboard menu of any changes to an offer’s Terms and Conditions. You can also filter for offers with updated terms on the My Advertisers page.
