Hey everyone,
Just wanted to give you a quick update on a change we have just made to the Affiliate credit system here at WA. It is not going to impact you in any way here, just offering you some clarification on the update and why we are making these changes.
We Have Doubled Your Credits and Halved The Value
You will now notice that “affiliate credits” have been doubled within your account if you have any existing credits. You can check your affiliate credits within the affiliate stats page.

These now carry a value of $0.50 each.
In the old system:
1 Credit = $1
In the new credit system:
1 Credit = $0.50
Credits still will behave in the exact same way, so nothing has changed outside of the actual credit count you will see within your Affiliate Credits and the actual value of them.
Now when one of your referrals completes their profile and description, you are going to earn TWO affiliate credits valued at $0.50 each (total $1 value).
Why Are We Doing This?
We are getting ready for some really awesome and exciting stuff that is going to take place here within WA in the year ahead. As per usual, we have been working on some really awesome stuff behind the scenes and will continue doing so as we push forward the evolution of WA.
The credit sytems all needed to function in parallel with one another, with various credits having different purposes within the system (SiteComments, SiteFeedback, Training, Affiliate) along with any new systems that are rolled out that are “credit” related, we wanted a centralized value of a single credit to streamline things here.
I can honestly say 2016 is going to the most exciting one yet for members here at WA! We are going to continue to push the envelope!
