Simon, you are quite right, Currys Partmaster has received a number of emails asking about a new code, and they just wanted to make everyone aware that there was another code on the way. Thanks Hi,

Partly my fault for joining every merchant on awin at the time I got approved for the network...

There has been a lot of emails like this of late. Still, better to have some contact than no contact at all. Well I hope you still had time to relax on holiday Kieron.

Maybe the fact that there previous code had expired and they wanted to keep there valuable affiliates informed. Also it's probably because they got loads of messages from us affiliates saying things like " Is there going to be a new code etc, etc. I guess affiliate window shouldn’t have authorised the email to go out.

Let's hope the various culprits read them and take note. The danger is that we hit the delete button for all emails and miss the 0.1% that's actually worth reading.
