What happens next
Your application will remain in Pending status until it is reviewed by the advertiser or their Awin Account Manager. Approval times vary by advertiser, with some reviewing the applications within a few days, while others may take longer depending on their internal processes. For more information, see How long do advertiser programme approvals take?
You can track your application status at any time by navigating to Advertisers > My Programmes and clicking Pending.
If you think your application is taking too long, see How can I contact an advertiser?
Note: Once your application is approved, it can take up to 24 hours for the programme to appear under the Joined tab in Advertisers > My Programmes.
