Discount Codes Policy
We offer discount codes through our affiliate program. We also encourage affiliates to contact us for exclusive voucher/discount codes and additional incentives.
We reserve the right to withhold payment of commission if unauthorized voucher codes are used in an affiliate sale. We appreciate that consumers may use voucher codes that they have found via a site other than that which is awarded the sale and this will be investigated before decisions on commission payment are made. Any affiliate found to be displaying unauthorized codes may also have their commission set to zero until the code(s) are removed.
Affiliate PPC Guidelines
Commissions will not be paid where there is evidence of any paid search activity on brand terms without prior authorization. This includes permutations, misspellings and broad matches containing brand terms (generic is fine).
PPC bidding restrictions also apply on Google Shopping/CSS (Comparison Shopping Service). We request the brand keywords stated below to be excluded from all CSS activity.
Restrictions include, but are not limited to the following:

Any affiliates found contravening any of the above conditions will be contacted by the affiliate manager and anyone in breach of these conditions may have their commissions declined and face suspension from the program. In cases of persistent rule breaking, we reserve the right to decline commissions accrued from the activity.

Email Advertising
Direct Partnerships
Cookieless Vouchercode Tracking
My Magic Carpet may use cookie-less voucher tracking for some of our influencer partners. However, we honor last touch/last click for commission payouts.
Social Content Creators
Please note if you wish to use affiliate links within your Instagram Stories and other social channels, you will need to use #ad as the only valid identifier to be ASA compliant. Awin has a one-page website - Paid for Advertising - which explains how free content can have a commercial relationship attached to it. This can be linked to by any affiliate in order to make your readers aware of how affiliate links work. If you have any questions on this please speak to your affiliate manager (the email address is listed below).
