Awin account

[Weightingforyou]

Has anyone been approached by online pharmacy to get financial reward via Awin account?

If so, what’s the pitfalls, seems too good to be true.

I have name changed for this question.

I was under the impression that the MHRA/GPhC would not allow POM to be advertised in this way. Didn't MedExpress get into trouble for doing so?

Interesting, it is MedExpress that have asked if I would like to join their affiliate program

MedExpress are disgusting. I despair when I see how many posters here use them.

What you describe isn't just unethical, however - it's illegal. Please report them to the MHRA.

I've had an email from MedExpress. If I want to take part in an online interview, I'll get £50 off my next pen. If I upload photos of my weight loss journey and share my experience, my next pen will. be free. I can do either or both.
Is this the same thing?

No.

Instead of getting £40 credit off next pen by sharing your code. They have suggested I join Up to their affiliate program and register with Awin, to get £40 cash instead.

Presumably you have a social media presence that you would use to advertise and link through to their site. I am amazed they are actively recruiting people to do this when they’ve already been warned about it and the rules are pretty clear on it.

To be honest, no one in real life knows I am on MJ.

it’s not on any of my personal SM

But I have posted my code on MN, in the appropriate place on the WL promotion board, that’s it!

Curious. I wonder where they think you would post links then. On MN? Have lots of people used your code already?

Yes, a lot of people have used my code.

I think med express think I am some influencer which is hilarious if they could only see me now🤣

You have to provide evidence of your internet/ social media pages and what social media platforms that you use. But it has to be your page. Not a page that your on, like MN

I've just seen this thread, if you don't mind me asking did you set up an account with Awin for your medexpress referrals? I've seen a few people on tiktok do this. Xx

No

I am not techy enough to know what I’m doing.
I am on mumsnet, and occasionally dip into Fb but that’s all the social media I do.

What's Awin?

I'm with medexpress. They've been great so far! I've not been offered any offers or anything though! Am I missing out! 😉

@ILoveDrivingYey lol If you earn so much in referrals Medexpress will offer an affiliate programme to you where the £40 credit is paid directly to you instead on adding it to your account. You have to set up an Awin account to do this. I was just wondering how it works and if its easy to do 😊 x
