Comcast warns affiliates - it’s “all inclusive” *not* “unlimited”
Monday, April 14th, 2008Well, they still have their excellent $275 Cash Back offer for all inclusive service; Internet, Television and the whole works…. but that does not mean it is “unlimited”. All authorised Comcast affiliates were sent the following email from Daniele at Comcast who manages their affiliate relationship network:

Subject: Use of the term “UNLIMITED”April 11, 2008
Dear Valued Comcast Affiliate:
It has been brought my attention recently that Comcast affiliates and partners have been utilizing the term “UNLIMITED” when referencing Comcast services in ads, landing pages, promotional materials, etc. Be aware that this is a direct violation of the affiliate guidelines. If you are using the term “unlimited” please replace with “all inclusive” or remove completely.Comcast is being closely scrutinized that they and all of their partners are in compliance with this issue and I cannot stress the importance/urgency regarding this matter enough.
Bridgevine and Comcast are regularly reviewing affiliate sites/ ads and anyone found to be in violation of this guideline will be terminated from the program immediately and permanently. Comcast has an absolute zero tolerance policy regarding affiliate violations.
We appreciate your immediate attention to this matter. Please email *******@comcastspecial.com or call 772-539-0709 for questions or concerns.
Regards,
The Comcast Affiliate Marketing Team
So, be it officially know, the Comcast $275 Cash Back offer promotion is one smoking hot deal to take advantage off, but the Comcast subscriber backlash on DIGG has obviously hit home.
