You’ve Got Mail

Affiliate Stuff, Merchants, Networks
Last night I signed up to a merchant on Affiliate Window. This morning I wake up to find no less than 9 e-mails from said merchant which included 2 Christmas e-mails, 3 discount codes and and a customer focussed newsletter. They tell me that they’ve created nice links for me but actually they’re in the banners section, not embedded in the e-mail. Not only that, but apparently my name is 7XXX8, which is my Affiliate Window ID. And the strangest thing is, I’m still pending approval.
I really don’t mind receiving e-mails from merchants but how about ensuring only one of each is sent out, that the e-mails are in date, that it starts with my real name or ‘Hi affiliates’ and that I’m actually approved first? And if I recieved 9 e-mails just for signing up, how many am I going to receive once I’m approved?
