A concise expert add-on tied to the thread: the “confirmation received but can’t log on” problem is usually a network/approval mismatch rather than a browser bug. As and observed, merchants and networks move or change how they handle publishers (Best Buy’s program, for example, shifted networks in recent years). (intercom.geni.us)

Practical troubleshooting steps (follow in order):

  • Check the confirmation email headers for the sender domain and any activation link; open that link in a private/incognito window and try the network’s “forgot password” flow.
  • Confirm the site URL given in the application matches the live site (no “coming soon” pages or parked domains).
  • Search the merchant site for an explicit “Affiliate / Partner” page to verify which network currently manages the program.
  • Gather the confirmation email, screenshots of the error, and timestamps before contacting support — that speeds resolution and avoids back-and-forth.

Why the account might be blocked or not approved: major affiliate networks explicitly reject publisher applications if the site is inaccessible, under construction, or has little content; low-quality or misaligned sites are common rejection reasons. Re-applying after the site is live and meeting basic requirements (original content, clear contact info/privacy policy, working navigation) is the usual remedy. (ui.awin.com)

When contacting support (merchant and the network): include the confirmation/message received, the email headers, the exact URL applied for, and a couple of screenshots showing the login failure. Reference the original application date and ask for account-status or re-approval instructions. Echoing ’s advice — the program owner or network support is the definitive source for account-state and migration instructions. (baselinenetwork.com)

Short, practical: document everything, make the website clearly publish-ready (content + contact + privacy), and open a single, evidence-backed support ticket with the merchant/network so they can trace the application.

From what I know, BeFree no longer exists and has been replaced by CJ (Commission Junction) ... www.cj.com ... I think CJ bought them out or something. I'm not exactly sure. Does BestBuy perhaps have a CJ login?

However, there is something else to consider. CJ has very strict rules for its affiliate programs in that they must generate X number of sales per month, etc. If they don't meet their quota - and believe me, even very large companies sometimes don't - then they can get kicked out of the CJ program.

Oh! They chek all websites, and if website is under construction, they lose it!

Still the best way, when you have a problem, is go to the exact source. That means ask them.
