AppThis Not Paying. Be Careful (8)
A buddy of mine and I ran some traffic to some of AppThis' offers. We started in July, ended in September since they had not paid us for July traffic. They still have not paid us. They keep saying they will but Jim Stark their CEO and the rest of their staff is unresponsive.
Stay away from these guys. Seems like they are having major financial difficulties.
Sorry to hear that. What kind of offers and how much of a balance roughly are we talking?

Perhaps if you drop some more info about the campaign and your journey we can give proper feedback on how to proceed. CPI campaigns are tricky, especially when it comes to KPI's and low quality installs and I/we have seen enough issues with this regarding affiliates vs. networks.
My apologies guys, Jim Mansfield, my error. The amount is not crazy high, $3k roughly. But they've been telling us we will be paid for months then the rep we worked with quit and told us he was not sure if we were going to get paid. They had asked us to run traffic to a few of their apps which we did, usual DSP and FB traffic. They never questioned quality, always said we would get paid. Then they went radio silent. My concern isn't the $3k TBH, just want to send a caution out to anyone that is working with them. If they are having trouble paying a $3k aff payment and aren't even willing to get back to us on it, then bigger volume affs on their network will have a bigger non-payment pill to swallow.
Somebody of Appthis reached out to us to run our offers this week and said they were aquired by Mundo Media. I have not checked this info but Mundo has for sure a financial great situation and maybe this merging delays some stuff (even when its a bit too long and happend way before)
Good luck
Thanks. I know the Mundo guys well but had not heard about them buying AppThis. I'll talk to them.
Thanks for the extra info, sounds plausible to me! Hope someone from AppThis reads and solved this asap!
