Order Value

Our average order value is approximately £20, and in the past year, a 20% commission rate would have worked out as £3.81 per order. We have regular orders of £100 or more, meaning commissions of £20+

No Reversals

If you make a sale, you will be paid EVERY time! What’s more, all orders will be approved within 1 day of the sale, so you will not be kept waiting for your commission.

Creative…

We have a range of banners available. Please contact us if you would like an alternative size or a bespoke design, we are happy to design these for you.

Voucher Codes…

FastCards are offering a 10% voucher code to all affiliates until the 31st May 2011. The generic voucher code is FC10, but if you would like one specific to your site, please contact us and we can arrange this for you.

We plan to offer more discounts and offers throughout next year.

Cookie Length…

The cookie length is 180 days. We offer business cards in quantities of 50, unlike many companies whose minimum is 250. This means people come back to re-order much quicker, and you may get multiple sales from the one cookie within the 180 days.

No Commission Leakage…

Orders have to be placed online so commission leakage should not happen. However, to be certain about this the contact details are removed if the visitor comes via an affiliate link.

PPC…

No PPC restrictions! We have removed all PPC restrictions, so you can bid on whichever terms you would like. You can also use fastcards.co.uk as your display url if you wish.

The Commission FastCards Pays Is…

20% commission on all orders (including delivery, excluding VAT). Based on the past year’s affiliate orders, this would work out as £3.81 commission per order, on average. The minimum delivery charge is £3.99, so a free card order will still pay you 80p commission.
