About Basecamp
Basecamp sells a deliberately opinionated project management and team communication product. It does not offer an affiliate program: there are no trackable links, no commission and no signup page. The obvious program addresses confirm it. basecamp.com/affiliates and basecamp.com/refer both return 404, and basecamp.com/referrals loads the general Basecamp homepage with no referral terms or reward. Basecamp's maker, 37signals, did once run an affiliate program; a Hacker News post dated 5 Dec 2012 reproduces the 37signals email announcing that it was ending.
Pros and limitations
Limitations
- basecamp.com/affiliates and basecamp.com/refer both return 404, so there is no page to apply on
- The 37signals affiliate program ended in December 2012, according to the email reproduced on Hacker News
