| | Notes: |
| | |
| | - this sheet tracks actual payments and not when the earnings were made. This can result in blank spots when either $0 was earned, or when the payout minimum was not met ($10, IIRC) |
| | - the gap and negative number in 2023 is because a $154.94 was awarded then the buyer returned the product a couple months later. The deduction slurped up all other commission earnings for a few months |
| | - the virtual server is priced in euros. It usually ends up being ~$15/mo so I used that figure here instead of tracking currency exchange rates. |
| | - in Feb 2023 I changed from taking the commission payouts as Amazon gift certificates to direct deposit. There is little practical difference since I regularly order from Amazon, but one of my accounts waives the fee on months when there is a direct deposit. |
| | - In 2024 Amazon started inviting me to programs that offer bonuses for meeting sales ~$1000. I've met this 2x and have received 2x $30 bonuses (boni?) as of June 26. |
