New account bonuses and revenue share

If you are moving an account to Referred, you can earn New Account Bonuses and revenue share if:

  • The account moves under your partnership within 60 days of conversion, or
  • The account moves under your partnership within 60 days of your deployment as a Partner.

Constant Contact will not pay New Account Bonuses or revenue share if neither qualification is met. However, if you move an account to managed, you can earn New Account Bonuses and revenue share on all accounts moved under your partnership. An account in the managed category will earn revenue share even if it was moved beyond the window to earn a New Account Bonus.
