RE-MEASURED 2026-09-13: signup network IS Awin, not CJ — ui.awin.com/merchant-profile/123996 returns 200 titled 'Awin | Digital Ocean Affiliate Affiliate Program' and DigitalOcean's own /affiliates page routes its join CTA there. Registry label corrected CJ->Awin. A future auto-pull needs AWIN creds, not the verified CJ token. (CJ presence NOT-MEASURED: a CJ publisher-signup URL still 200s but is a generic shell, so this claims only that the signup PATH is Awin.) SPEND GATE: Awin publisher application carries a $1 deposit; per Awin's own FAQ it is refunded TO THE AWIN BALANCE (not the card) and ONLY on your first tracked sale — if the program never converts, the $1 is not recovered. Cookie/threshold not publicly disclosed. || 2026-09-13 LIVE-RENDERED in real Chrome (measured-live, not web-fetch): digitalocean.com/affiliates renders 10%/12mo verbatim and its 'Become an affiliate' CTA routes to ui.awin.com/merchant-profile/123996 => Awin confirmed from DO's own page.",

    "cookie_days": 60,
    "note": "Re-verified 2026-08-08 (multi-source, official beehiiv.com): the program is NOT dead — it MIGRATED off the old Rewardful URL (partners.beehiiv.com, which still shows 'deactivated by the owner') to beehiiv's NATIVE partner program. Join path: sign in to a beehiiv account -> top navbar 'Partner Dashboard', or app.beehiiv.com/partner_program. Requires an active beehiiv plan (free trial counts). Tiers by lifetime conversions: Launch -> Bronze 50% (first conversion) -> Silver 55% -> Gold 60%, recurring 12mo, 60-day first-touch cookie, cap $15k/referral. Payouts via Dub.co (partners.dub.co; tax forms required). 14-day referral trial + 30-day provisioning window before commissions move Pending->Due. GATED activation (Steve): (1) have/create a beehiiv account, (2) join partner program, (3) set up Dub.co payout, (4) paste referral link + flip active. Not signed up (no beehiiv account exists yet). || 2026-09-13 RE-VERIFIED: migration story, tiers (50/55/60%), 60-day first-touch cookie and $15k/referral cap all CONFIRMED verbatim on official sources, no drift. TWO CORRECTIONS: (1) PAYOUT RAIL IS CONTESTED BETWEEN BEEHIIV'S OWN PAGES — beehiiv.com/partners says payouts are 'exclusively made via PayPal' while the support join doc says it uses Dub.co and you must create an account at partners.dub.co. Registry assumes Dub.co (marketing page likely stale) but this is UNRESOLVED on official sources — follow whatever the in-app dashboard asks and correct this note to match. (2) The '30-day provisioning window' could NOT be re-verified today (source article did not render) — treat as unverified, not confirmed. ALSO: third-party blogs claiming beehiiv runs an approval/content review are WRONG — beehiiv's own doc says anyone on an active plan (including a free trial) can join, so there is no approval wait. || 2026-09-13 LIVE-RENDERED in real Chrome (measured-live, not web-fetch): beehiiv.com/partners shows the native program + up-to-60% + Apply->app.beehiiv.com/partner_program; live FAQ references PayPal (contested vs Dub.co support doc) => follow the dashboard. || 2026-09-14 ATTENDED SIGNUP COMPLETE (Steve at keyboard, real Chrome). beehiiv account created (Steve Abrams' Newsletter, free Launch plan, $0 — no card demanded), joined the Partner Program, referral link issued instantly: https://www.beehiiv.com/?via=steve-abrams-dw (verified 200, clean no-session resolve, ?via preserved). CONTESTED PAYOUT RAIL RESOLVED = DUB: the in-app Partner Dashboard step 3 reads verbatim 'Sign up with Dub - Enter your banking info to get commissions via dub' with a 'Submit bank details' button; PayPal is the stale marketing-page claim. Current tier Launch = 50% commission for 12 months (audience gets 14-day trial + 20% OFF 3mo per top-line text; the graphic says 30-day trial). link is LIVE + tracking now; REMAINING (Steve-only, does NOT block link): complete the Dub.co payout account + banking + W-9 tax form to enable cash-out (link tracks regardless).",
