I was having the same problem with long wait times on linkoffers & I finally had about a 30 minute call with my affiliate manager there. What he told me is that unless you can drive a huge amount of conversions to the credit card companies they'll just leave you pending for all eternity. There are a couple of card that seem to be really easy to get approved for (Discover It & a Barclays Travel card) but with any of the other major ones it's going to be super tough to get approved.

Well it sounds like I am setting my sights high with LinkOffers. What would be an alternative way to become an affiliate advertiser of credit cards?

Try Bankrate, they have an affiliate program as well.

 

Also, don't be afraid to start writing content around credit cards without an affiliate program. Then use Google Adsense where you would normally use a banner. The dollars per click are higher and as you build traffic to the post you can quickly switch out to affiliate offers once you are approved.

Sometimes that can be challenging - especially if the updates are delayed for any reasons. In my experience applying to the elite programs (i.e., credit card issuers), your mileage will vary greatly. Likely, there's a tremendous backlog and waitlist for elite websites looking to host issuers like Chase, Amex, etc. You will probably be put in a queue, and unless you suddenly become the next Wisebread... Well, point is you may be there forever.

Just my two cents,

I apply for a program and dead silence. I submit a ticket to support and nothing. I email the general contact email just to figure out who my account manager is hoping to at least get a response, and I get nothing. I was getting concerned it was just me! I'm going to try to reach out again and hopefully I'll get a response!

I heard from one of the programs yesterday actually and I was not approved :(. We'll see what happens with the rest.

After I emailed, though, I got a reply from someone who told me that the advertisers needed more information and gave me a number to call. I got in touch with her and she approved me for a few programs.

I applied in mid-January for some of the credit cards that I use hoping to put some affiliate links on my site but it's been nothing but dead silence since then. I emailed and asked about the usual time frame for approval and have not even had a response to that. How long does approval take? I also imagine there may be a good chance I'm not approved since I might not have the volume of traffic they are looking for.

 

I appreciate any info/feedback. Thanks!
