Commissions and earnings
Two-tier affiliate programme
A two-tier programme may reward a participant for their own qualifying referrals and for qualifying activity generated by affiliates they refer into the programme. The second-tier reward and eligibility rules vary.
What to check
Whether second-tier rewards exist, how they are calculated, how long eligibility lasts and what restrictions apply.
Common misconception
Do not confuse a two-tier commission structure with a multi-level marketing model; evaluate the actual arrangement.
