"After signing up, spend your $10 bonus at participating stores like these..."

Angel,
I believe that sign-up bonus is on the buyers side, but it will still get people to try it.
I have seen a few posts on the GC forum tho about the bonus not being applied when people try to use it. Could be they tried to apply it at non-partner sites. Not sure, just know that there have been a few problems.

Hi Carol,
Yes, it is only on the buyer side. And I would expect problems with something new every time. LOL :lol: Trying to use the bonus at non-participating sites would be my bet for the most common issue!

Google Checkout Promo Extended:
Hot off the presses: Google has notified sellers today that it has decided to extend the current Google Checkout $10 Sign-Up Bonus promotion until at least March 31, 2007 (so it may be extended again).
Good news–we’re extending our $10 promotion for new buyers until March 31, 2007!
With Valentine’s shopping just around the corner, we hope you’ll update your messaging and banners to drive more sales during this busy shopping period.
Google has also provided new graphics and tips for leveraging the upcoming Valentine’s Day to drive traffic and increase sales (and just in time leading online jewelry retailer Blue Nile announced last week that you may now use Google Checkout to pay for that big diamond ring).
Here are a few updated promotion details:

Has anyone found out yet how to get to be a merchant that can take part in the $10 promotion ??
I have a post up over at Google, but sometimes they can take a while to answer. I haven't found any page in their "help" section that addresses this at all.
I just got the first page of my Mal's cart up so it can take GC http://knapps-fresh-vegies.netfirms.com/mos.html
I still have a lot of other pages to get revised from the PP buttons, but it's a start.

Not sure Carol. I signed up for Google CO but never received any type of confirmation or link :shock:
I hope it works better than GB! |

Checkout has worked OK for me so far.
I would check your junk folders as there have been a few reports of the confirmations going there. My account went thru rather fast, but I think I've heard that they have bogged down a bit since last fall.
