Propeller Ads Suspended Account (5)
As a newbie to CPA marketing, I am taking a course in CPA marketing, attempting to learn how to set up tracking, and following a 40-day turorial in order to test new campaigns. After depositing $100 (required minimum) with Propeller Ads, and spending $20 in 2 daily test campaigns, my account was suspended today. When I asked why, I was told PA uses a system called KYC (Know Your Client) and that my account must be verified. Upon request, I sent them a photo of my Mastercard and a photo of my Driver's License. I asked why they don't accept PayPal - they replied that they do accept it upon request. I requested PayPal billing, and was told another department would have to review my submitted documents first; that since my account was suspended, i could not make a request to use PayPal. They anticipate that this review will take about a week.
I understand the threat of internet fraud; however, at my tender age of 84, I am struggling to learn CPA marketing in order to support my family, and "time is of the essence," as they say in legalese. I requested an immediate refund of the balance in my Propeller Ads account. This request was forwarded to a different department. My guess is that this will require another week before I see any return of funds.
Propeller Ads may be an honest and reliable advertising company. Since I have no intention of using them in the future, I will never know. My advice to others: Beware!
How comes that you decided to start affiliate marketing at this age?
About your experience with Propeller Ads, I can absolutely understand that this is annoying for you.
But Propeller Ads is a really reliable source with good traffic so I personally would say it´s worth it to go through the process.
Sometimes it just happens that something in your account triggers a flag or so.
It happens on other trafficsources as well, not only on Propeller.
For example it happens more often in specific geos where more fraud happens that there are additional security measures.
You can also try to send Propeller Ads a PM through the forum.
I understand your impatience and frustration. But I have to say: Fraud is rampant these days. I understand all the precautions PropellerAds are taking to verify everything.
I'm actually more concerned about your angst and rush to rely on CPA marketing to support your family in the near future. Of course we'll do our best to help you reach your goals, but any veteran affiliate can tell you that impatience is absolutely the worst enemy you can encounter when you're learning the ropes. You'll need to have disposable money lying around to contribute to all the learning and testing, and not give yourself a deadline on when you "need to" succeed by. Otherwise, you'll be a lot more prone to making rash decisions when managing your campaigns, plus the pressure can become unbearable.
