Why have I not been paid?
First, if you have not yet met the minimum commissions, that could be a reason. Second, commissions are paid after the customer travels, so if they have not taken their trip, your commission is pending. Other reasons include: It is not yet 30 days after the revenues have accrued, you have not earned any commissions, the money is in the mail or your site has been under investigation for fraud.
