I recently signed up for Uniqpaid through shareasale.com and began promoting their links . In just a few days I had generated 10 leads . 2 of these leads were disqualified after just a few days . Something I wasn't happy about , but could live with . But now weeks later , they have disqualified all 10 leads .
After generating these leads , Uniqpaid changed their earning TOS from $2.00 a lead to $1.00 a lead to be paid after the new member had earnings of such and such by such and such date . I understand that's their right and I can live with that , but I can not live with changing horses in mid-stream . They have to honor the agreement made for the leads generated before this change . Leads were generated from 1/26 - 1/29 . They informed me of their change in earning TOS on the 30th , which is after the original contract was made . I am posting a copy of the email I received from UniqPaid .
They've changed their "contract" after these lead were made ( not before ) and after our deal was struck , which is illegal ! We had a meeting of the minds , an offer , consideration and an acceptance . They can not then change the terms of our agreement for the leads made before their offer changed . Very Uniq way of getting out of paying . I gained these leads before the change in earning terms .

I have complained to shareasale via e-mail and their support forum , but my plight seems to have fallen on deaf ears , as has other complaints made by other UniqPaid affiliates .
You can read more about that here .

Lastly , I will be sending this update to all RD memebers as a warning and a call to boycott .
I sent out a paid mail for a program called Uniqpaid . This program looked really good and the pay rate for leads very profitable . 10 ppl. joined from the e-mail I send or from banners placed on RD . I now encourage all you members who joined Uniqpaid to go and unsubscribe .
Each and every one of the 10 leads I made has been denied by Uniqpaid , meaning Uniqpaid will not pay me . If they are not going to pay me , it is very likely that after you have done all the work to make some money , you will not be paid either .
After complaining to shareasale about this program , I discovered that other affiliates of Uniqpaid have had the same exact trouble . One affiliate was denied 114 leads , each and every lead denied . If Uniqpaid is on the up and up , I believe it would be impossible that this affiliate were denied all 114 leads .
I am starting a campaign of sorts to get the word out about Uniqpaid as they seem to have found a very " Uniq " way to NOT pay their affiliates . Please look for updates and other complaints at the www.gptboycott.com forum . If you've already experienced troubles with Uniqpaid , please add your comments so others incentive earners and program managers might avoid yet another merchant with questionable payment practices .
After generating these leads , Uniqpaid changed their earning TOS from $2.00 a lead to $1.00 a lead to be paid after the new member had earnings of such and such by such and such date .
