Here's is how it works - as easy as A B C
1. Sign up for your DX affiliate account
2. Post your affiliate URL
3. Redeem referral points for products or cash back
Referral vs. Regular DX points
Referral DX points are the same as regular DX points earned by purchases, but are
collected differently. When you make purchases yourself, DX points are assigned
at a rate of 1 point per every $10 spent (including all shipping charges). Referral
points work similarly, but do not round off at every $10. When your referred customer
completes an order, both of you will receive DX points. The customer receives DX
points based on the normal rate, and you - the referrer, gets the amount of DX points
equivalent to the order total times your affiliation level's dx points rate.
As an example, assume Mary - who you referred, spent a total of
$32.69 on merchandises and shipping fees and you are on our Standard affiliation
program level (thus 10% DX rate). While Mary gets 3 DX points as usual, you the
referrer will get 3.27 DX points. Notice how you also get the decimal points for
each referral's purchase. Without these extra points, small orders would be meaningless
to you as the referrer.
Note that refunds sent to referred orders will also cause corresponding points to
be reversed.
How do I get commission?
Since referral points are the same as regular DX points, you can use them
for all sorts of things like free express shipping upgrades, redeem them for free
products and get cash back for the points. Cash back is sent via PayPal. DX points
earned are subject to a minimum limit of 60 days, to allow for refunds and any such
issues. After the specified period, the DX points can be used to apply for cash
back at a rate of 1$ per 10 DX points (i.e 10 points = 1$ cash). You can apply for
cash back with as little as 10 points in your account.
Cash back equivalent values
DX points can be used for free Express shipping upgrades and to redeem for products.
As an affiliate, you would probably be the most interested in the cash back reward
programs for the DX points. Here is the table for cash back values:

Commission rates seem low?
If you own a decent blog, forum, or even a website you
can easily earn hundreds of dollars a day by posting some of our best sellers. Tip:
begin looking on such places that generate a lot of views/replies like FatWallet.com
and SlickDeals.net.
Don't be fooled by others who offer 5%, 10%, 20% or even more. Commission is zero
when their products don't sell. We can hike our prices and offer a 50% commission
rate but it makes no sense to do that. We want to offer good service and products
at reasonable prices and at the same time reward you for referring us to others
who will also find our offers cool.
In addition - to keep things simple, like regular DX points, all shipping fees are
also included in calculating the referral DX points. Other sites normally exclude
any shipping charges from commissions.
The starter program is there just to get you warmed up as you can easily move up
to the standard level.
The Fineprints
Whatever you do - please do not try to earn commission at community sites like FatWallet.com.
These are good sites to research on what products to post on your own website/blog/forum,
not to be used as a tool to make money.
Also, we do not allow self- or fradulent referrals. Please do not abuse the program
as it will not benefit anyone and everyone will lose out in the end.
Introductory Offer
