I'm steadilya t 17%. I don't find the RCs motivating me at all, I would need a lot more sales to get to 18%, So I better not even try because it won't be happening.

To be honest. I dont understand this RC at all.

I finally got enough this week to go to 16% - I know that's pitiful compared to the rest of you.  Getting to 17% looks pretty steep but will try.  A 1% increase isn't exactly motivating, bit iS is still my #2 earner and gives the second highest return per image online (after SS) so is worth running the DA gauntlet to increase portfolio size.

I'll be dropping 1%, unless istock is actually right about the bulk of sales coming in the last few months (they don't they'll be wrong again about that this year).

No surprise really. With the way sales have tanked this year, it's amazing that I ever even had a shot at keeping my current RC level. But it's pretty clear at this point that I will most likely come up short.

Those who have reached a new RC level mid-year (such as I have) have not even been compensated for that extra 1% we should be getting for each sale. Its ridiculous, they said they would sort it out, but it's been weeks and supposedly, they first want to fix their site issues before handling our money concerns.  >:(

Yep, I reached a new level about 3 weeks after they announced them. Still haven't gotten my extra 1% though. The thread on istock forums is rich with others in the same boat. No news from istockHQ in ages though.
