We welcome all applications, but reserve the right to refuse or revoke a membership at any time.

  1. What is an affiliate program? How does it work?
    An affiliate program is a revenue sharing program where the affiliate (you) drives traffic to a merchant's web site (moderncat.com) in exchange for sales commissions. When a visitor to your site clicks on your Modern Cat affiliate link and completes a purchase, you get a commission on every subscription to Modern Cat magazine they buy!

    • Step 1: Sign up!
    • Step 2: We manually review all applications. Once your application has been approved, we will send you setup instructions as well as directions to banners and text links that you can put on your web site.

  5. Can I become an Affiliate if I live outside of North America?
    Absolutely! We welcome affiliates from all over the world and would love to have you on our Affiliate team. Please keep in mind all commission checks are payable in the currency of your location (for affiliates based in Canada and USA). For those affiliates outside of North America, commission will be paid in USD.

  6. If I have multiple websites, do I need to apply separately for each?
    No, you do not need to apply separately. Subscription sales will be tracked based on Affiliate ID. Feel free to place your affiliate link(s) on whatever sites you have providing those sites comply with Modern Cat’s Terms and Conditions.

  7. How are sales tracked from my site?
    Once your application is accepted, you will be given a unique Affiliate ID as well as a custom-formatted link that will ensure that traffic coming from your site is properly tracked. We maintain a 30 day cookie, meaning that if a visitor clicks on a link from your site, you are credited with the sale as long as the visitor purchases within 30 days.

    Modern Cat records all transactions from your site on a daily basis. The Modern Cat Affiliate team has access to all Affiliate sales and can provide you with transaction information at any time. Sales will be tallied on a monthly basis.

  8. How much will I earn? How and when do I get paid?
    All affiliates earn commissions of 50% of sales made through their Affiliate Ads, with a cookie length of 30 days. Modern Cat Affiliates will be paid monthly when the commission balance is $50 or more. All commissions will be paid in the currency of your location (for affiliates based in Canada and USA). For those affiliates outside of North America, commission will be paid in USD.

  9. I'm signed up, now what?
    Once your application is approved, you will receive an e-mail welcoming you into our Affiliate Program. It will include all the instructions you need to get started. If you're ready to start adding links to your site, check out the next section on creating links to Modern Cat.

  10. How do I create links to Modern Cat?
    Current affiliates can get links, including banners and text ads in the Affiliate Centre. We will be regularly updating our links to include lots of resources to help you sell. You're also welcome to create links of your own, as long as they do not abuse the Modern Cat brand (see clauses 4 and 14 of Terms and Conditions). Feel free to link to the home page or to product pages directly.

  11. Do I receive any discounts on moderncat.com products since I'm an affiliate? No. However we recommend you purchase your orders through your links so you can receive commissions on sales.
