Something similar happened to me a few weeks back with a notable sponsor (known to frequent this board). I signed up and waited to be approved. Couple days went by and nothing. I emailed and told them how keen I was to get started with them. No reply. I'd purchased 50K hits to a new site and I wanted their links predominantly on the top portion of the main page.
I eventually pmed them here and was told to email someone to look into it! LOL
So these dickheads lost me before I even got started with them. On principle I would never join them now. The correct response of the person I contacted would have been to say, "Oh, damn, I'm terribly sorry Kristian. I'll look at your info right away myself, and get you hooked up pronto. Expect an email from me when it's sorted."
Instead, I'll paraphrase, "I'm going on vacation. Email such-and-such about it."
Luckily . . . as surfn rightly says, there are enough good sponsors who know how to look after their affiliates.
