AWeber pays 30-50% lifetime commission, tiered by referral volume (30% base, 40% at 100+, 50% at 500+ paid referrals), through a program you apply to directly. There is no reward for the referred customer. Verified 27 Sept 2026 from AWeber's own published material.

Important
30% lifetime commission on every referred customer is a high, uncapped rate, strong for an established email marketing platform with sticky subscriptions. The program is run directly by AWeber through its own in-house Advocate dashboard, not a third-party network. Referrals are tracked on a 90-day cookie, and payouts are monthly via PayPal once a $30 (US) / $50 (non-US) minimum is reached.

What you would be selling

30% uncapped lifetime commission on every referred customer, run directly through AWeber's own in-house Advocate dashboard, across a 2-product line.

AWeber is one brand with 2 products, bought by different people. What one converted customer is worth cannot be worked out for any of them: that needs a rate, a plan price and a commission window, and this program does not publish all three.

The commission has no stated end, so it has no total.

Self-referralProhibited. The Advocate Agreement bars using your own referral link on your own account, on any account paid for with a payment method you own, and on referrals for immediate family or household members.
Must you be a customerNot required. Anyone can create a separate, free Advocate account; existing AWeber customers are told to sign up for that same free Advocate account rather than use their customer login.
ClawbackNo general refund/cancellation clawback is stated. The Advocate Agreement addresses fraud only: inflating leads or clicks with fraudulent traffic forfeits the referral payments owed, and AWeber may credit against future earnings or demand reimbursement for fraudulent payments already made.
Where it paysOpen worldwide with no stated country exclusions. US-based advocates must submit a W-9 for tax reporting; non-US advocates use the $50 minimum payout tier instead of the $30 US tier.
ApprovalApplicants must be approved by AWeber before taking part; AWeber may withhold or refuse approval for any reason without giving further detail, and states applications are evaluated within a reasonable timeframe.

Apply link found on aweber.com's own navigation on 27 September 2026, under a link reading "Customer referral program", and the page it opens describes the programme.
On 27 September 2026, official AWeber docs (docs.aweber.com/aweber-advocate-program) and the Advocate blog post established: the program is run directly via AWeber's own in-house Advocate dashboard (not PartnerStack, contrary to the prior entry); 90-day attribution cookie; tiers are 30% up to 99 paid referrals, 40% at 100-499, 50% at 500+ (trailing 12 months); paid monthly on the 1st via PayPal, with $30 (US) / $50 (non-US) minimum payout.
On 27 September 2026, the AWeber Advocate Agreement at aweber.com/referral-agreement.htm was read in full and established the previously unpublished terms: self-referrals (including accounts paid for with your own payment method, and referrals of immediate family or household members) are prohibited; you do not need to already be a paying AWeber customer to join, since the Advocate account is a separate free signup open to anyone; there is no general refund or cancellation clawback, only a fraud clause forfeiting payments earned through fraudulent traffic; and applicants must be approved by AWeber, which may withhold approval for any reason. The same agreement also gave the geography answer that the record had mistakenly filed as a description of who runs the program: the offer is open worldwide with no stated country exclusions, US advocates must file a W-9, and non-US advocates fall under the $50 minimum payout tier instead of the $30 US tier.
The sales write-up previously stated the program was run through PartnerStack and, separately, that self-referral, customer, clawback and approval terms were unpublished; both statements were carried over from an earlier draft and were superseded once the Advocate docs and Advocate Agreement were read directly, so the sales notes were corrected to match.
On 27 September 2026, the same official pages (the advocate blog post, the program docs, the advocates.htm landing page and the Advocate Agreement) were checked for any incentive offered to the referred customer and none was found; the customer incentive was recorded as researched and answered 'Nothing' rather than left open.
