How Do I Get Paid?
When visitors click through the logo that you have properly linked to our site and purchase supplies or gear from Guitar Center, you will receive up to 8% cash referral fee on the orders (not including returns, shipping and taxes, etc). We will calculate your referral fees and send you a check at the end of each month. If your referral fees total less than $25 for the month, we will accrue your referral fees until you reach the $25 floor and pay you at the end of the corresponding month. All payments will be made in US dollars.

How Do I Keep Track Of Orders Made Through My Site?
You don't have to. As long as you download the links properly, we can track whether or not a visitor originated directly from your site prior to placing an order. We also provide daily updates so that you can determine how much money you have earned and which links work best for you. This sophisticated tracking system and ease of reporting results from our partnership with Commission Junction.

Can I Paste Links To More Than One Web Page?
Yes, just complete one application and use your unique store identification number for all of your sites. We will consolidate your checks and your reports.

We strongly recommend using a single unique store identification number since it allows you to receive payments more often.
