General Information

Who is Oreck Direct, LLC?
Oreck Direct, LLC. is the home appliances manufacturer of America's new favorite vacuum cleaner - the Oreck XL.

How does the Oreck.com Affiliate Program work?
You place hyperlinks to Oreck.com's home page or specific product page on your Web site. When someone follows those links and makes a purchase, we track that purchase and pay you 8% of the purchase price. Every month, you will receive a check (or direct deposit payment) if the total earnings from all of your Commission Junction affiliate programs is $25 or more.

Who is Commission Junction?
Commission Junction is an independent affiliate company that tracks your sales and commissions. We have partnered with them and are proud to offer their excellent services to all Affiliates. Having a third party handle our administration means you can trust that your sales totals are accurate, you are provided with great affiliate resources and your commissions are paid in a timely manner.

Tracking and Payment

How are orders tracked and credited to my site?
All links from your site to Oreck.com contain your site's unique Source ID so that every time a user comes to us via your site, we know to credit you when a purchase is completed. Make sure that all links on your site are created using the correct code, as provided by Commission Junction.

How much will I be paid?
Commissions are 8% on every purchase made by someone referred from your Web site(s). For more information on potential earnings, visit our Payment page.

When will I be paid?
You will be paid monthly, if your total account balance for that month is more than $25. If your balance is less than $25 the total amount will be carried to the next month. Once it exceeds $25, a check (or direct deposit) will automatically be sent to you on the 20th of the month for your total earnings.

How long will I receive commissions for referred sales?
Oreck has a very generous cookie duration of 90 days. This means that if you send a visitor to Oreck.com who purchases, based on your referral, say two months later, then you will still get 8% commission on that sale.

How will I monitor my sales from day to day?
Commission Junction will provide Oreck.com Affiliate Program members with a unique User ID and Password, so they can access tracking and earnings information.

I operate more than one Web site. Can you track them separately, but pay me with one commission check?
Yes. You can have multiple sites under one Affiliate account. When signing up for Oreck.com's Affiliate Program, just provide the name(s) and URLs of the additional sites. You will then be able to create links specifically for each site and generate separate reports for each site. You will receive one commission payment for all of your sites.
