Living Social Affiliate Program
livingsocial.com
I signed up for Living Social’s affiliate program several months ago & being busy, didn’t remember what happened with the account. At first I didn’t think I had signed up, but when I tried again, it said my e-mail address was already in the system, so I knew I had.
I also found their affiliate program to be hard to find/access via their site.
Anyway, I e-mailed them to find out what was going on, why wasn’t I an affiiliate.
Someone by the name of Jessica Harvey – jessica.harvey@hungrymachine.com got back to me after I e-mailed affiliates@livingsocial.com
She asked me for my website, I gave her 3 different ones, then she approved me saying…
“Hi Michelle,
I took another look at your sites and approved your account for our direct purchase offer. If you have any questions as you get set up, please let me know – I’m happy to help!
Best,
Jess”
I thought all was fine UNTIL 4 days later on October 13, 2011 I was rejected AGAIN.
I wrote to Jessica Harvey & was very upset for obvious reasons asking what is this back & forth nonsense, why has my account been deleted AGAIN. Talk about no proper communication skills at all not to mention clear passive aggression.
Jessica Harvey ignored me.
What a lovely company Living Social is.
Compared to Groupon’s affiliate department, it’s like dealing with the devil.
Groupon cares about their affiliates & would NEVER treat them like garbage. There’s an obvious level of disrespect from Living Social in my opinion.
Also during the few days I was signed up with Living Social, I also saw one of their e-mails. They aren’t even written out properly. It was just a blob of text with no formatting & proper paragraph structure.
In my opinion it’s clear Living Social doesn’t know how to run their company properly & I wonder if they treat their employees with the same level of disrespect. I know for a fact that Groupon loves their employees & treats them WELL.
